My Brunswick is quite a bit older than yours, but I went through a similar process of refinishing it. I wanted my table to play like almost all of the snooker tables I've ever played on (west coast of US), so I went with Simonis 760. It is very fast, but achieved what I was looking for. I also went with the bigger (2 1/8") balls and play pool on the table with 2 1/4" balls all the time. On kick shots where the cue ball is close to the rail and I hit it too hard, the cue ball will come off the table, much like the big/heavy cue ball on a bar table. Also, on bank shots where the angle is short and it has to be hit hard to shorten the angle, the object ball will sometimes come up a little, but no biggie as that's fairly normal on any table. Other than that, I don't have any problems. When setting it up, I figured I wouldn't be playing on a regulation snooker table very often (and haven't ever) and I doubted anybody would be coming over that had ever played on a regulation snooker table either (and no one has), so I went for what I was used to playing on and what seems to be normal for our neck of the woods.
