Thanks Alaskan Thunder,
I might still be missing something but I did a search (not easy to get good post selection from search), read many posts in the forum, visited Tornado web site, talked to the Tornado company representative as well as the person selling tournament tables (cannot remember his name now would have to look e-mail). Feedback I got
1) May be a little easier sell (as coin operated might attract commercial buyers)
2) Table is heavier so more stable
3) Table is split so some maintenance might be easier like changing playing field.
4) This is same table as used in tournaments
Other than that I also got feedback like
1) It is exactly the same components (On top)
2) Play the same beside the weight difference (bottom of the table).
So unless the weigh make a huge difference when playing (I don't know, it might) or you want to play tournaments (and have the same table to train), I don't see the major advantage of a T3000 to play at home if you value the look of the table and it is not for tournament preparation. Is that right ? Did I miss anything ?
(Now if look has no value to you and you can have T3000 for same money you might as well buy T3000, that is obvious too)
Thanks for you help, very much appreciated
