In which type of situation would you use one over teh other? Here is my use case: I have a polgon and I want to find all the features that are inside or intersects that polygon. It seems I can use both transformers. Just want to here what the community has to say.

 

Thanks,

Yes -- the SpatialFilter will do far less work than the clipper, so if you don' t need to know exactly what parts are in both, just need to know if they "relate", then yes, SpatialFilter is best.
