I have a Mali cloth now and it is way too slow, like slogging through mud.
I am about to order new cloth, looking at Simonis 860 or 760. I care about playability and price, but my wife cares about the color. Simonis has a color that is close to what I could use, but not ideal, and the price (as you all know) is steep.
So, before I pull the trigger, I am open minded to other options where I might be able to save money, look at other colors, and not sacrifice too much in quality. (Win-win-win)
What would be the next-best-thing to Simonis?
BTW, this table is outdoors in New Orleans, 8-ft long, and used 70% for 8-ball and 30% for 10-ball. I play 4 hours a week when I am lucky, probably average 2 hours a week, so long wear is not too critical. Humidity here can range from 40% in the winter to 80%-95% for 4 months in the summer.
