This is hardly a big deal for me. Riffe didn't add that return spring until a couple of years ago, and I was using his guns without it with no problem. Alexander mechanisms still don't have a spring.

Its a nice touch, but hardly anything I would base a choice of guns on.
Spear-line release springs must be the latest spear-gun fashion feature. I notice my replacement RA trigger mech now has a return spring in the line release. Previously it depended on gravity - probably fine with the heavier stainless steel line release but, with wear, the plastic one could sometimes stick, making it impossible to load the spear into the mech.

The new mechs. have other enhancements too - they are continually improved.
