I like both. The one that's worthless, throw away out of the box junk- the fabric ones at the farm stores. Gears never line up, bag falls over itself & blocks handle and just garbage. I have both of above & like em but I have a few cause I tend to break those 2. The red bags - I tear em, etc. I'd just buy 2 of whatever I do like my solid spreader cause the bags- I can't tell u how many times I've had em tip & spill all my seed, drives me nuts. My own fault for going to fast. I'd try both & see what u like better
