I have both and I have come to prefer the CE version for a canopy anchor. This is mostly because I often use a rope that is just long enough for each leg to reach the ground, meaning I have to pull the rope through the Quickie with my throwline, out of reach, and the bigger opening of the CE version makes that easier. Once my rope is about 5' over my TIP, I tie my butterfly, put the Quickie on and put the throwline inside it. If I've tied it to my rope in such a way that it is streamlined, it usually comes thru the Quickie with just a little jiggle.
