Yeah, I like the MaxCams too and have been quite happy with the ones I picked up a while back. Is it the range that makes you like them so much? I'm rather fond of the offset axle as I find it helps with placement options where I tend to climb (DWG in NE PA, lots of very irregular cracks).

The Totecams are rather interesting and I tried something similar 2 years ago. I couldn't figure out the stem though and moved on to finding a design with more range.

Yeah the range rocks, but with the cracks i climb (irregular) I find when you place them correctly they are very stable and don't walk at all. Early on I found a link about how to place them. I can't remember it all but basically it had to do with pressing the larger lobes (offset axle) against the crack and then releasing the trigger. I'm not against metolius, i just don't like their extended range cam. I also have more than enough cams, but somehow I find some stupid reason to keep buying more.
