I'm also thinking about a buying a new wheel. But for whatever reason, I'm drawn to a Thomas
Stuart Electric, Elite Model (or maybe I'll just go ahead and get the Professional Model!).
Does anyone have any advice on the Thomas Stuart Models?
I think I'm drawn to it because it isn't made from plastic! At a class I took, they had a fairly new
brent, with a splash pan that had to be put on absolutely perfectly or it leaked. What good is a
splash pan that leaks all over your ankles?
The way I figure it, if I'm going to spend $700, on something that I hope will last me forever (or
at least a really long time), I might as well go ahead and spend $900 or $1000, and get the one
I really want!

(And yea, I'm 99% sure I'll buy locally. Even if I can save some by having it shipped. I'm a
newbie, and Brackers has taught me more with their little bits of free advice (hundreds of not
thousands of little bits!), than I'll ever learn from a company over any catalog or the internet.)

I love my Thomas Stuart. I Have The Professional but seriously looked at =
the Elite. My only problem with the pro is that it sits higher due to =
the bigger motor. Not a problem for me since I am 6'4" but I have had a =
hard time finding just the right stool to sit on. I am using 3 five =
gallon buckets stacked in each other with a cushion for comfort and it =
is just about right for me. Some one on clayart posted recently that the =
elite models were plastic but he/she was wrong. It is also very easy to =
level the wheel. The pedal is not Soldner's but I think that soldner's =
cost too much anyway.
