Naturally - we are in Derbyshire 
I use a rack for all my SRT, whether 2m or 200m. I can't say I have any problems with it. when we are teaching novices it depends on what kit we have/are happier with. I am the owner of a new stop, which has been used about 10 times in the past 3 years, whereas I have replaced my rack bars twice in that time, clocking ~150 trips.
