opinions please? IsoAcoustics stands vs GAIA footers under my towers?

I understand the GAIA's are designed for this exact purpose however the 'standard' type stands from IsoAcoustics have been phenomenal for me under my standmounts and subs

they are so much more thicker and meatier to me than the GAIA's

I have Elysian 4's with stock outriggers, I suspect the weight of the towers might apply more pressure with a pair of iso stands underneath (I measured and 2 fit perfectly each good for 70IBs) as opposed to GAIA's nestled kind of at the side within the outriggers

would appreciate any thoughts

“thicker and meatier” does not equate to better performance.  Sifting through online reviews the Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums seems the best closely followed by Gaia footers.    I wouldn’t substitute which would likely yield subpar results compared to these purposely focused options.

If you really want to take it to the next level look at the Townshend podiums, in all the forums people that have tried both said that the Gaia's were very good but the podiums were on a whole different level better, When I put them underneath my monitor audio platinum 200 ll The sound improvement was as if I had gone to much more expensive electronics, best upgrade that I've ever done.

Iso has worked better for me

I also use marble pastry boards below the Iso's
