Yup, I've had clients in my old 818's tell me they don't like the Matrix cause they used to lay the whole 30 minutes face up! BTW, if you think the sunboard is costly, try changing 33 lamps every 400 hours. My Matrix devours HP lamps, I think cause it runs so damn hot. I've added a 1 ton portable AC to the 2 tons that's in the room already, hopefully that'll extend lamp life.

I'd like to come up there and tan in a well maintained Sunboard, we don't have any of those around here.
