My goal is to not need the prong collar but I have one and it is a tool that is sometimes needed.
I do not like the quick release as I have had it come apart, and the Herm Springer is 10 times eaiser to squeeze and fit the prongs into the plate than the cheap prongs. Also the tips are smoothed and rounded and not flat and sharp.

Last weekend when Viktor and I were working with the trainer, we had a "quick release" pop off. I prefer the regular Herm Springer too.

Thanks everyone - your responses have been very insightful. I'm going to continue to use the prong (hoping Santa brings me a quick-release for Christmas) because it seems I need less of a correction to make an impact, if that makes sense.
As my training expecations are going up, I'm seeing some new issues popping up that may force me into using a different method, but we'll see. I'm going to have a conversation with our trainer on Sunday during our next session to see what he suggests.
