I have been using Simonis 860HR on my table for almost 20 years. No complaints about the Simonis - but since Simonis is hard to find now, am interested to know what others think of Simonis 860hr Vs the Predator Arcadia. I have played on the Arcadia once for two days in a tournament- I liked it - seemed to play almost identical to Simonis. Can anyone who has played on both give some feedback - and has anyone had the Arcadia on a table long enough to get a feel for durabilty Vs Simonis 860HR?

The Arcadia is OK, but it isn’t Simonis.
Arcadia was installed on a handful of tables in my local pool room this past year because of the unavailability of Simonis. It plays well, but in my personal opinion, it picked up dirt and crud a little quicker than the Simonis and was never quite as fast either.
if I couldn’t get Simonis, I wouldn’t feel horrible about playing on it, but it wouldn’t be my first choice.
Just one guy’s opinion.

The Simonis shortage issue is just about over with. If you’ve used it for 20 years and like it, I’d wait a little longer and stick with it.
Thanks guys for the comments. Don’t need new cloth immediately, so will probably wait for Simonis to become available
