One of my usual partners has a Cinch and I borrow it from time to time. The only thing I dont like is the jerky action on belay. Its realy sketchy feeling with a light belayer. So with that said, my understanding is that the Grigri 2 has the same grabby issue with the rope size that ill be using.
Hince the poll.

uh, no. you're probably using the cinch incorrectly- it feeds/lowers smoothly regardless of rope diameter.

same goes for the grigri2.

edit: i should add- calling these devices autolockers is a bad habit to get into, as it lulls the user into a false sense of security. a more appropriate term is locking assist.
