I’m surprised shelf depth hasn’t been brought up as a toughness factor.
Not sure the precise shelf depth between GC 4.5” vs 5 or 5.5” pockets, but I’ve played on both my own GC5 TE with 4.5” pockets and GC3 room tables with larger (I think to be 5”) pockets, and there’s a big difference in toughness. At least to me.
As far as what’s the shelf depth between the different GC pocket sizes I have no idea.
