Like the other poster, I would go with the 8 foot Diamond table, and yes, I own a 9 foot Gold Crown.
I looked for about 6 months for a used Diamond and finally gave up. I bought a Gold Crown table and had it recovered, and I powder-coated all the metal and it looks 100% awesome. I have about 1300-1500 in it, for everything.
I looked at junk and I do mean junk used Diamond and I think they wanted 2000, and I would have had to redo all of it.
I was happy with the Gold Crown, it plays perfect.
I wish you the best of rolls,
Ken

I have an 8' Diamond Pro-Am, and yes they are 45"x90" playing surface nose-nose.
I recently purchased a 9 a foot Gold Crown from a used table dealership on the north side of Chicago. The owner told me it's very rare that he comes across an 8 foot Gold Crown.
My table is a Pro 8 , and its a perfect practice table . little bit bigger than a 8'er , and just a little bit smaller than 9'er . GL JIm
About 15 years or so ago I played on a black Formica Robertson at CueTopia in Carson City, NV. I don't remember if it was a 7' or an 8', but it was a really sweet little table, with predictable cushions. Banking was quite Brunswickian.

Where are you located? I've got a Gandy pro8 forsale,
$300.00 cash and carry. I'll take it apart and you haul it.
Local set up is available.
Beauty of a table.

So, I got a used Diamond 8' pro table... for $900. They had 3 tables out of an old fox and hound pub.
The others are already gone, so don't nag me.
Cuephoric is setting it up for me. We're just waiting on simonis to come in the next day or two.

IMO, you got a great deal and made the right choice. Again, coming from a guy with 9' Gold Crown.
You did good, enjoy it.

I'd go with the Diamond. It's the professional standard, as the pros play on them in most of their tournaments.
I will, I'm really psyched about it!
The only issue is that it could use a refinish pretty bad. I got it cleaned up last night, but there are some bare spots on the wood.
A refinish isn't in the budget right now, maybe I'll do that when I wear out the 360 years down the road.
But for now, it would be cool if there was some way I could color match and seal up the exposed portions of the wood.
