1 x Jecklin Disk
1 x Schneider Disk
I have both also, and a Sonic Studios Lite Guy, but generally use the Jecklin Disk because it is easiest to schlepp around. Do you find any sonic differences in these two, and where would you use one rather than the other?

I'm not John but I've used a Schneider Disc on maybe a hundred or so recordings over several years (and a Jecklin Disc on over a thousand recordings since 1994/5) and imo the Schneider Disc produces recordings which are more convincing on headphones than those of the Jecklin Disc* but which translate less well to speaker listening. I treat it more as an interesting novelty item for use when a recording is needed specifically for headphone listening rather than a useful all round tool which works in a wide range of applications.
(*When either is used alone. I do, however, find it much harder convincingly to integrate a Schneider Disc main pair with spot mics in a multimic setup, which can present problems.)
I do quite a lot of recording for hospital radio, the listeners to which are almost all restricted to headphones. It works well for these.
