Tried a belt crane vs a knuckle boom for setting steel beams last week

I used a belt crane on a job in downtown Austin and it felt way smoother for tight alley picks compared to the knuckle boom I'd been using. The belt crane had better reach and control when I had to swing a beam past a parked car. Has anyone else noticed a big difference between these two for tight urban spots?

Yeah but try turning a knuckle boom in a parking garage, total nightmare.
