It took nearly three months longer than I had anticipated but I finally had my table installed yesterday. After much research and lots of great info and suggestions from this community, I ended up going with a pre-owned table that I located about two and a half hours from me. It's an 8 foot Connelly Avondale. I went with Simonis 860 and Aramith Tournament balls. I think it came out great. The room is not quite done but I'm getting there. A bunch of pics are at the link below.
