By buddy ordered a set after I told him about the 120xp ratchets. When he got his, only the 1/4" were 120xp....so I guess it's the luck of the draw.

I had a few mid-length sockets before buying the set and found that they were my go-to sockets. In my opinion, they are just the right length. I bought the BOGO set, as well as adding the SAE sets in 3/8 and 1/4. I love them. The quality is there and the rails are some of the best that I've had. For less than $100, I got 1/4 and 3/8 SAE and Metric mid-length sets. Hard to beat that.
Yup, I got mine and they are nice. The rails are one of the best imo. Very study and has very good retention without being too tight or loose.
I absolutely hate their rails. The tension is consistently good, but when reinserting sockets, the holder slides way too easily in the rail. This causes the socket to not be easily inserted with one hand. You almost always have to re-center the holder between the adjacent sockets first and hope it doesn’t slide before the socket clips in. If it does slide, the holder will not be centered and the socket not insert. This is very frustrating when you use them often.
If you like rails that are way too long for the sockets you have, then maybe it isn’t a big deal because you can leave a lot of space between each socket. I suppose it wouldn't bother folks who don't use their sockets much either.

I use them all day, every day. I take tools out of my box to use... pulling the sockets I will need or as needed. The tools collect on my work cart and when the job is done the cart is used as I clean then return each tool to where ever it sleeps. Never once even considered the issues you speak of. I don't work off the rails... I guess that's the difference.
