GC vs Diamond vs Olhausen?

[Baxter]

I've seen all the GC vs Diamond threads/debates on here, and was wondering why Olhausens are hardly mentioned (save for the recent thread about the "rattling" problem). I know GC's are considered to be a beautiful table, and Diamonds purportedly play better, but Olhausen is never included in the debate, and I've been wondering why. I've played on a couple, and I personally IMO didn't like the cushions on them (or more specifically, how low the cushions set on the balls). Does this have something to do with it, or the "rattling" problem being addressed in a different thread?

That's because Olhausen tables are looked upon more as being a home table therefore they don't really fit into the commercial market place which is dominated by Brunswick and Diamond...as the best playing commercial tables...which is why all other tables are compared to them two as to how they play as a standard.
