Isoacoustics GAIA question

I have Focal Sopra No.2 speakers , should i get GAIA II or GAIA I ?

Speakers are 55kgs each. GAIA II supports up to 54kgs.

I almost bought the GAIA II thinking i shouldn’t have a problem with IT but i have emailed Isoacoustics and they’ve told me that i should get the GAIA I. I find that a bit strange. Anyone have an experience with a similar situation?
Thank you for your help.

I just posted in the other thread you asked the question.

Follow Isoacoustic's advice. I had the IIs and my speakers were right at the upper edge of the weight rating for the IIs. I sent the IIs back. 

The GAIA I will give you better results, be more stable, and can be used more effectively with other speakers you may rotate through.

@tonediary  I completely understand. It's a big 'hit' especially relative to the 2s. If you do not have any isolation (other than the feet/footers/base supplied) I highly, highly recommend some form of isolation. My opinion - speaker isolation is as important as the cabling you choose to use with the speakers. In some cases, the upside is even greater.

You have a number of options. The GAIAs are an easy one to try out and if you go through the right channel, are easily returnable.
