Earthgear extremelte vs stronglite

[Mrs. Brightside]

This post is actually from Sydney.  I was asked to test my moderator settings to see if I could remove a topic.  I didn't want to lose her post so I'm adding it to this one as it seems to correlate with dragon's post.  Please be patient with me as I learn the various functions of moderator. Thanks,Intuitouch-----Sydney says:  Still researching tables.. sorry, I always waffle on where to put topics re: table stuff, should this be in Student Interests?.. ANYWAYS!     In my research, I think my dream table is the Custom Craftworks Athena, namely because of the breast recess option (my sister calls them boobholes!), though the rest of the table's features look awesome for my needs, too.  I've rolled around on one of the Athenas in person (literally, testing for squeaks), and they look like a great deal.  BUT - this dream table with all the options I want is about $700. So, in the meantime, while I'm learning, gettin certified, practicing, etc, I'd like to get a good starter table that costs a bit less, and invest in the hardcore 'boobhole' table when I'm really really sure I want to get into massage. I've pretty much crossed anything from Costco or Sam's Club off my list.  Booooo weak tables! I was thinking of an Earthlite Harmony 3, but I want to make sure that there's nothing else out there in that price range that's do-able. I came across EarthGear on a few websites, and they LOOK sturdy, though I haven't been able to get out & find one in person to bounce around on. Anyone out there own an EarthGear?  any tips? thanks in advance!!!     Sydney
