I'm looking for a good source for some chrome or nickle open-back tuners for my new LP neck.  I've narrowed my choices down to Waverlys with  Butterbean knobs (StewMac) and Gotoh SE510's.  While the Waverlys are easy to find at StewMac, I'd like to find some sources for the Gotoh SE510's too.  Feel free to offer your opinions on these two choices as well.

LMII are what we used to refer to in high school as "good heads." The Hipshots get good reviews too - I've seen them on high-end electrics. I'm old-fashioned, I always thought of sealed tuners as a leap forward, not to be repealed. Though I guess realistically my guitars are not actually subject to the extremes that require sealed housings to mitigate (though the cat hair do get thick :eek:). I could see one point, where if I wanted a lot of wood in the neck, I might want to save weight on the metal.
