Hi all:
I am setting up a studio and will be purchasing 2 wheels. I will use one w=
heel for throwing=2C the other for trimming and for occasional students. I=
'm leaning towards the Shimpo VL-Whisper for my main wheel. I'd like to sp=
end less on the second wheel. Given reviews here on clayart=2C the Axner M=
-600 is a strong contender. I am=2C however=2C intrigued by the new Shimpo=
VL-Lite (priced online at ~$540!). Has anyone had any first hand experien=
ce with the VL-Lite? =20

Thanks in advance for your help=2C

I use an Artista for trimming; it's an excellent wheel for trimming
standing up.
