Daruma's vs Rollerblocks


I'm considering to purchase a set of isolation devices to use with my cd-transport.
The choice is between the Final Lab Daruma 3 II and Symposium Rollerblock 2 with tungsten carbide balls.
Is the higher price of the Rollerblocks justified by a clear superior performance ?

If you guys were impressed by Daruma or Rollerblock, you should try Aurios MIB since I've tried all three and reached a conclusion that MIB is the one that works best. At first I was highly skeptical but now I have Aurios under all of my equipment since they do work. My only complaint is --- they are a bit too expensive.
I had both the 1.0, 1.2 and the Pro. 1.2, IMHO, has the best price/performance ratio simply for its self centering design. However, if you have a level surface, 1.0 would do a fairly adequate job as well. Darumas, on the other hand, could be a real pain to use. It takes great patience to level them perfectly. Design-wise,Daruma used the ball bearing as a point of contact; but Aurios has 3 ball bearings and it allows freedom of movement to dissipate the energy so in theory at least, Aurio should work better.

The Aurios Pro under my spiked Amati Homage is the first gadget that I've tried over the years really works.
