It's taken a while, but my White freewheel has quieted down a bit, with time. No freewheel is perfectly concentric, but the WI is the closest of the ones I've used. ACS makes the most eccentric freewheels I've used. But, I'd rather have a Dicta than an ACS, just for reliability.
The regular Eno has more points of engagement, than most cheap freewheels. I think it has the same amount as an ACS Claws, which is the only freewheel I have ever been able to make skip consistantly, just by mashing hard from a dead stop. White's trials freewheel doubles that.
The WI trials freewheel on the other hand, may have other advantages due to the greater number of engagement points...giving it a tendency to engage faster, which is notable when riding with a really low gear. On a high-geared road SS, I don't think the number of pawls really makes much of a difference.
