If the function of the HP-X was a problem, I would switch, but the only slight shortcoming of the frame pump is that you have to be a little careful not to carelessly tear off the stem. I don't mind applying a little skill. No problem ever getting 100 psi, which is all I need. But this is on the Bridgestone and the old Fuji where the frame pump has a clear advantage in looks and convenience of storage. On a MTB or if I had a compact road frame, there would be no such advantage and I would go with the Morph. In fact, I do just that on my rigid steel MTB. The plastic mount fits nicely under the top tube.
