MapleShade Samson V.2 and V.3 Equipment Racks

After 30 plus years in this crazy hobby I am finally looking at purchasing a good quality equipment rack. I've added a new turntable recently and am looking at some additional pieces and now I have started to run out of room to stack components.

Has anyone used the MapleShade Samson V2 or V3 racks? From online pictures they appear to be very nice. Like most everything else though they are a bit pricey... However, most likely they would be the last rack I ever buy. Leaning toward s the V3 so that I can add a second TT on top down the road. I would probably get the support rods custom cut to about 40" to facilitate the proper final height. Anyone have these or used them? Nice? Worth the big change?

Everytime I see a lab photo where some guy's designing/building his amp, the stuff is on a workbench with formica surface over what I would guess is 3/4 plywood. Maybe that's the ultimate shelf since it seems like many amps are voiced sitting on that type of surface.

Now you've let the cat out of the bag!!! Now you can look forward to $2000.00 per sheet "audiophile" plywood at Home Depot and Lowes!!!
