Medical Isolation Platforms

Decided to open a discussion on Vibraplane, Halcyonics, Minus-K type tables. What are the merits of active vs passive and industrial vs medical? Is the fuss of setting up compressors and tubing worth the benefits of active and is the only difference with industrial vs medical the mass load? Would a cheap passive platform be an upgrade over say a Symposium or BDR Shelf?

What accessories do you need to maintain its performance? Is there a specific compressor type? I take it you (Ejlif) use the passive platform type.

Is resonant frequency an indicator of superior sound quality and why? If the table has a natural resonance (a rarely published spec) and the platform has a resonace that was a fundamental then I can see all modal hell breaking loose. Do these platform manufacturers publish resonance amplitudes? I would think amplitude would have more bearing than frequency. or not?
