If you call Mapleshade, Eldon, the owner is a very nice guy who will be happy to expound on why he believes his products are better. Unless you're already committed to the Sapele, I'd consider Mapleshade's Ambrosia Maple platforms also. I just finished upgrading all three(one at a time) racks in my system with their Samson racks and isolation feet, and wife and I are very happy.
