Easy to swap out.
Sometimes. Not every throw-off has the same mounting hole pattern. My strainer of choice is usually a Tama model, although the new Sonor model looks very nice too. I don't think Sonor's is a direct swap either. Ludwig's P-86 is a much nicer strainer, but I still prefer others. I can pretty much get by with any strainer, but the P-85 was enough for me to get out my electric drill and go nuts.
True, of course. It's just that the P-85 and the P-86 swap easily. The P-86 might not be perfect -- but it's pretty good, and a lot better than the 85.
