I've never used a Grigri, so I'm comparing this to the Reverso. Feeds rope and takes with almost no friction. Very light and just as small as a regular belay device. Obviously the locking feature is great for those partners that enjoy hanging on the rope for extended periods of time. Don't shortrope your partner...once this bad-boy gets locked you have to use the little lever to unlock it. This shouldn't be a problem to a dilligent belayer, though. Lowering is very difficult to control, there is a fine line between flying down the wall and creeping down the wall.
