price of mastersun 360 vs iso matrix er - TanToday - Helping Salon Owners, One At A Time, Since 2000!

question:
if i can buy a iso matrix er for $3,500 more than a sportarredo 360, its well worth the little price difference, right?

You can get a lot of varied opinions on this depending on which bed the poster bought.

Not sure about the brand new 2007 Matrix as I heard there is some good changes. But if it's like the original Matrix, IMO you would better with the Mastersun as it's more or less based on traditional HP tanning like the Magic 636. Lamp life and costs should be much better with the Mastersun too, provided it works similar to the Magic.

When I inquired about buying a Matrix, the price which was plenty more than a magic did NOT include: transformer(s), delivery or install. This was all extra. Make sure to inquire about that as I am not sure how Sporterredo works.

Sorry, but if they think it's that much better, they are losing out. The politics of distribution accounts being lost and so on tell that story in my books.

Though, the Mastersun is becoming the "Sasquach" bed as we never see meter readings or pictures of it in working salons ect. Not sure what the big secret is.

By the way. I am not a distributor of either bed, just an owner of two Magics. So I am not trying to sell you anything. My bias is only in what I bought and know. Not in trying get you to spend money with me as you can find in many cases on the boards, you can take either advice any way you want

oops...
i priced the wrong beds! i was looking into the magic 636 and mastersun 360, but somehow got price on the matrix by isotalia. i need to go back thru the high pressure posts as i remember...it goes something like this?
1. magic 636
2. king 420
3. mastersun 360
in that order....and where would you say the matrix comes in??? guess thats why i only had a $3,500 price difference between the 360 and matrix...i figured the 636 will be approx. $10k higher US.??

James,

When I get my MasterSun in Nov. I will take meter readings and post for all to see.

Drew · 21st September 2006, 09:19 PM

the only knock on the Mastersun to date...(other than looking like a bad halloween joke) is that the bench puts out just half of the output of the canopy.

But............... a lot of beds tan better on top and customers don't seem to notice or care. So it is up to you.

BTW...new matrix just has two collums on the bottom also..not three like now....so same set up as new ergo hp and the mastersun.

Rob,

Just browsing the forums and came across this post. Perhaps you've already posted the meter readings from your new MasterSun but a quick search brought up nothing. Mind posting them for all to see?

Have a great New Year's Eve and stay safe.

Brian Oshman · 3rd January 2007, 08:33 PM

What about the rest of the bed? This is at the face.

Do you have other readings?

Rob · 4th January 2007, 12:59 AM

Actually, that is in the middle of the bed. I don't have any other meters. That is my next investment.

Natureboy · 4th January 2007, 06:26 PM
