[Frameworks] Recommended splicer for both 16mm and 8mm cuts?

Thanks, all.
I appreciate the specific comments and questions- it helps me narrow down
my search and understanding of splicers.
I will be editing a WP and don't want a cement splicer.
I want a tape splicer that uses pre-perforated tape so that I can splice
four frames instead of one; I've been told that this type of splicer is
much better than a guillotine because of the extended frames covered. I was
told the Revis is a good model.
Are there other models? Can I adjust the pins with most splicers, so that I
can splice 8mm and 16?
Thank you all!
Meg

> Peter Hutton’s unforgettable films, typically shot and exhibited on 16mm,
> often portray landscapes and cityscapes from around the world. Here we
> present his sublime, At Sea, which overviews the life cycle of a container
> ship (recently awarded the top spot on Film Comment’s Best of the Decade:
> Avant-Garde list). Proceeding this we will screen Hutton’s Images of Asian
> Music, which recalls his time as a US Merchant Marine in Southeast Asia in

> *Running Stumbled: A benefit screening for John Maringouin*
> *Saturday, September 22 at 7:30pm*
> Documentary begins when fiction leaves the scene. Rarely in filmmaking
> does the theory meet the practice, but in the case of the powerful, gritty
> Running Stumbled, director John Maringouin manages to take us into the
> heart of the matter in a dramatic exploration of family, life, art, drugs,
> murder, love, and legacy. After a 25-year absence, Maringouin the prodigal
> son returns from Hollywood to Terrytown, Louisiana. Placed in the center of
> an emotional battle, he films an intimate, frank and strange portrait about
> the complex relationship between his estranged father, Dadaist painter
> Johnny Roe Jr., and Roe’s self-destructive common-law wife, Virgie Marie
> Pennoui. Johnny is a New Orleans legend, known for being a career heroin
> user, a street-fighting pimp, and an accused murder. He also once tried to
> kill his son. Running Stumbled is a dark, Southern Gothic fable, as
> dramatic as it is cautionary, enveloped in an atmosphere that has its main
> characters chasing demons and pursued by death.
