When I bought my Bridgeport it came with a small number of R8 collets. I decided to purchase a half set of Vertex ER32 (?) collets/R8 adaptor.

Is there any benefit of using the original R8 collets vs using the ER32 collet? The only thing I can think of is that the ER32 hangs lower so reduces the working room a little. Anything else?

I need to get a full set of one or the other (or both?).
