Question Racers AllView Mirror...opinions?

Has anyone used this rearview (rollcage mount) rearview racing mirror:

It looks similar to the Longacre mirror.

Thanks,

Looks a lot like the Longacre - slightly different mounting, but close to the same dimensions.

I flat out love the Longacre, and highy encourage others to get one. Maybe this is an alternative?

I have this mirror, but I bought it from BSR. It's really this mirror with brackets for a roll cage attached. I like it, but you have to get used to the panoramic view before it seems "right".

I tried a a convex mirror in my early 911 race car and didn't like it, one session and it was out. For me it was way to hard to get the depth perception figured out, couldn't tell how close the other cars were. I probably didn't give it enough time, but just didn't like it.
