I've had a stock lo-press set up which worked just fine, thanks. On the strength of that, I couldn't resist a hi-press (actually, medium in the scheme of things) set up when it swam past at the right number. It has the hi-press manifold, damping trough, Wisa pump and the big factory option accumulator. (Also, now three arm wands, which I consider a good idea if you're a cartridge junkie.)
I'm glad they were sold with suspended 'tables, 'cause I got both of my arms cheap from frustrated suspended owners who, inevitably, couldn't get them to run right. No question a nonsuspended 'table is the way to do this. Once properly set up the ET is very simple to keep in adjustment (assuming that the operator knows whatthe goal is) on a rigid 'table.
I confess I don't have experience with the damping trough, yet. I move the arm too much, since it's so easy to do with it being on a freestanding pod, and I don't want to risk getting siicone everywhere. That is a step for the near future.
Otherwise, I only assume that the "ugrade" really is one. The base version which I had for a couple of years worked just fine, and the high press version I think is on the same continuum, just further down the curve. Probably worth it, but since I didn't A : B them, I couldn't swear to it. EIthe is worth the time and money.
