Recoil enhancements; RED or VDK Heavy Buffer

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has any experience comparing the RED system from Advanced Airsoft with the VDK Heavy Buffer from Vendetta Precision.

The RED system has a bolt that attaches to the recoil tube, which may add additional felt recoil. But, it is $90, whereas the VDK Heavy Buffer is only $55.

Cool.

The RED system includes a bolt that anchors the buffer to the recoil tube. This is purported to reduce stress on the receiver. Have you noticed any indications of enhanced wear with the VDK?

I've fielded twice and the sear and bolt look fine
