Re: Matrix V28 Versus Saturn Stand up
I haven't tested the Sportarrado yet "Tomorrow Sun" but ive always thought it was one of the best looking Standup HP available .Bed customers wouldnt mind trying it because the design is so open. Unfortunately when we got our 1st HP stand-upabout 4-5 years ago, i didnt look at it because Sportarrado didnt have as big a presense as they have now in the Tanning industry and i didnt really hear anything about the unit at that time. The time that i was looking for a HP standup i think the Saturn HP had been on the market for a number of months. At this stage i had 2 Sunsports HP , but i had kept hearing through different people in the tanning industry that the Matrix L33 was a good HP bed and Tan America who sold the beds had a good reputation for their customer service, and i noticed they had a Standup HP Matrix called the V28. the closest Saturn HP they had to me was in San diego, and me and my general manager made the drive , and we both tanned in the Saturn HP. This was the 1st HP standup up i had ever tanned in so i didnt really have anything to compare it to. I found that the facials on the unit were way too hot for my liking,but the air system worked good and both me and my manager got a fair amount of color. My other personal feelings about the Stand-up was that the finish on the body work was not fantistic and i felt that the unit was pretty bland, and it was missing the wow expression new and existing customers salons have who stop on the way to their bed and ask about a particular wow bed that caught their eye and want to know what this unit does differently from the beds they have always been tanning on. a few weeks later me my general manger went to a salon in ventura to try The Matrix V28 HP standup. My 1st impression was that the v28 was definetely a WoW Tanning unit. The unit ran cooler on the face, and i got pretty much the same tanning results as the Saturn HP. My general manager felt pretty much the same about the Matrix v28. I also was impressed with the finish of the Matrix , so we decided if the pricing was right we would go with the Matrix v28. The Saturn still tanned as well as the Matrixv28, and the only way i would get the Saturn HP was if i could get the price of the Saturn for 15-20% less than the Matrix V28. At the end of the day they were very similar in price so i had no doubt we were getting the Matrixv28 HP.

Randy I would definetely go and tan in the mastersun, the Saturn and the the Sportarrado yourself and see what you think yourself. Dont give too much notice to what people say on the boards. For what you gonna spend on the a standup HP the cost of a flight is worth every penny to try them out. The last thing i can add to this thread is that you really cant go wrong in my personal opinion with the Matrix V28. We got ours in 04 and the V28 has already done about 5000hrs. I was thinking of getting another one 18 months ago because it was getting very popular; but i made the decision to sell my Sunsport Horizontal HP's and replace them with 2 new Matrix L33.
Good luck with whatever unit you decide on. Im going on vacation for a month on Friday, so if you need any telephone nos or persons name or anything you can call me at my Irvine Salon.
