Am I the only one who switched from manual taglines to using a spotter exclusively?

I used to handle taglines myself on every job for 8 years, but after a close call on a windy site in Omaha last spring I handed that rope off to a spotter. Now my lifts feel smoother and I can focus on the boom swing without my arm getting tired. Has anyone else made this switch or do you still prefer keeping the tagline control to yourself?

My buddy dropped a load last year because his spotter sneezed at the wrong time.

Heard a guy in a gym say a spotter cough can ruin a whole set, @wendy72.
