At this time, a Diamond ProAM is my favorite table to play on and I have been playing on GC's and brunswicks my whole life. I live very close (ten minutes) to the only Diamond ProAM in the city and its free and maintained perfectly with 860 tournament blue. The owner of the bar is a player and for obvious reasons went that route. He paid 5k installed/delivered and it came from Derby last year. I personally know the Diamond rep in this area and he said your not going to find a used ProAm delivered and set up for under $4,000.
For my own pad I went with the KS because a buddy said "for the money" you cant go wrong and I trust his opinion. It was $1000.00 less expensive then a used GC3 and 4. That gives me a good margin and I can now look into a higher end light system.
I could of got a mint GC4, with centennials, 860, delivered and installed, drop pockets. $2600.00
Does anyone have any real time spent on a Kim Steel here that could tell me the pro's and cons?
I DON'T work on Kim Steel tables period, not worth my time. They're junk as far as I'm concerned
