Help Me Choose Timber Nation Rack-- All Wood or Threaded Rod?


Discovered the Timber Nation site and for what I can afford, they look like an excellent choice. Not sure whether I
should go with the all-wood or the threaded rod rack, though. Which is better in terms of isolation???

Thanks to you all for your input-- especially you current Timber Nation owners!  Dave; the capacity to change shelf height is, no doubt, a nice feature but in the end, I've decided I prefer the look of wood (higher WAF, too). I'm going with a 4 shelf Maple rack with one larger bay for my tubed integrated to provide extra ventilation. I figure if I move to SS, a little extra room on top for airflow can't hurt. I don't have the budget for massive gear changes. ohlala: I'm surprised if this is, in fact, the first time you've heard about the advantages of Maple, which seem to be pretty widely accepted at this point. But perhaps you've tried it in your system and found it wanting. I can respect that; certainly, not everything works in every system to everyone's taste. 
ohlala;I looked up Finite Elemente and was surprised to discover they offer. among other things, Maple racks, but at prices I can't come close to affording.
