I am not a fan of enclosed track (especially if you are lineshaft/freeshaft shooting) because the perceived advantages of enclosed track do not outweigh the disadvantages. The exception would be if you really need to power up the gun to take long distance lineshaft shots with 3 or 4 bands. However, most folks who lineshaft/Freeshaft shoot only use one band and enclosed track has too much inherent track drag IMO to efficiently shoot with one band.
