The Benson delay has become my delay of choice. I’ve had it for over a year and it’s just so awesome. It has a certain trashy/lofi vibe that I just adore and if you set the mix to 100% wet and have the time and repeats all the way down, it does a really amazing compressed lofi vibrato sound using the LFO parameters. You can see that demonstrated in the Cyberattack video here. He noted in a recent video about the Shallow Water that he prefers the Benson to the SW for that lofi sound, which I was surprised to hear (not having ever owned a SW).
Monotron delay sounds so good. One of the best lofi delays out there and the filter sounds so good here. A revamped big box version of it would be a no-brainer purchase for me I think.
Holy shit. This sounds amazing. I need to break mine out more often. Too many delay choices and I always forget I even have one of these. Hell, everyone should.

Two analog delays in one box with no other features. Sounds really good to me and instant stereo interest to the ears because they are never exactly in sync
Also you can obviously feed one into the other in mono.
Low quality build and switch I wouldn’t spend much on it
I was eyeing this myself a while ago and I’m pretty sure it’s not analog, but based on PT2399 chips.
Not that this is a bad thing, there are plenty of PT2399-based delays that I think are great, e.g. the Monotron Delay, Demedash T-120, DBA Ghost Delay, the built-in delay in the Erebus etc. It generally gets crunchy and AFAICT it’s often used when FX devs are going for a lo-fi vibe that has connotations of “analog”.
I use this one a lot. Always just sits nicely in a track. I know a lot of people didn’t like that it’s mono-in-stereo out, but mine is permanently attached to a mixer bus so it’s perfect for my use case.
Though I wouldn’t mind also having a true stereo BBD delay like the Meraki or the Flancher of course
