Check out the post by Healyje at near the bottom of this page....he's got the eddy dialed. And gives great comparisons with other devices, pros/cons etc.

(The linked thread is specifically referring to roped soloing.)

Here, he mentions that he ONLY uses it for soloing(he posts as JosephH): http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/747909/fpart/1

"JosephH -- I use an Eddy only for lead roped-soloing, I don't use it for anything else. The direction of the rope feed in the Eddy that makes it so good for lead roped-soloing makes it less than ideal for TR soloing, though that's the mode I use it in for seconding all my solo pitches so it's not that bad. Personally if I were doing the TR thing I'd do double minitraxions deal or just use a regular grigri. "

Interesting...
