I still love the way the velocity looks compared to all other HPs, and was stll considering it for my HP even if my other beds aren't ETS. So what I'm asking is why not ETS?
Why not? Cause they will be sending mailers to everyone in your town trying to sell them home units and lotions before the helium leaks out of your grand opening balloons, that's why.

Then why did you buy them? Shouldn't you have bought the best? Doesn't your customers deserve the best?

Thanks for everyones opinion. Didn't mean to start such a debate. as far as what beds to choose, I've made a decision and its not ProSun and not ETS. It seems like there are enough companies out there that someone dosen't have to choose one that nobody can agree on are good.

Does everyone on here own "the" best? if there are people that have differnt brands, differnt beds from that brand, how can ONE be the best?

I think my ProSuns are great units, are they the best, only time will tell, are they bringing in my competitions clients, yes they are, thats all that matters to me. I have room in my salon to diversify equipment if needed

Best entry level units are Suncapsule Standups
Best level 2 beds are the new Sungates......
Best level 3 beds Leonardo, Magic, Matrix, Saturn.

Anything else below these are garbage.

ETS Units are decent imo, i just don't like how they send flyers to your customers about buying their home tanning units. A little annoying if you ask me.

ETS, Helios and Austrailian Gold/Swedish Beauty/Carribiean Gold are one in the same company. I wonder if they are using the info from Helios to send info to your clients?

First time I've ever heard a Suncapsule to be entry level? They are the furthest thing from an entry level, even their smallest unit. Depends on the units you have but no way is it an entry level unit in any salon, or it shouldn't be.

Is that fact? If so kind of scary. I thaught they were all different companies. Did AG just buy all the others 'cause they are the oldest CO. of them all aren't they?
