Cool TA X2 vs ISO Matrix 33??

I am trying to decide on which machine to purchae. Can anyone give me some feedback on these two machines? Which is better? I know they are almost the same machine but there has to be soemthing the other one doesn't have or is better at.

TA is a great company with good customer support. Can anyone provide some feedback on ISO?

From everyone that I heard that has the Matrix L33 has said nothing but good things. But, I would look at the Gloomy which is the new HP bed and is supposed to save you on electric.

The Gloomy -- uh huh -- that's a new HP bed ~whatever~ -- do you perhaps mean the Glammy? WHY do you think you are qualified to give equipment advice?

Glammy right! Well it doesn't compare to the Matrix or the X2. Thanks for the info Mojo.

Go with matrix, but I think there are other HP's you should look at.

Re: TA X2 vs ISO Matrix 33??

The Glammy definitely does not compare to the X2 or L33ER.

If you are going with new, frankly the "differences" will be more to you as a salon owner than to any customer since you will only put in one and whichever one you put it you will say is the best!

As you note, TA has an excellent reputation and always stands behind everything they do! I purchased my L33 from them, tanned in their X2 in their showroom. Both very good units.

In the midwest, URI markets and services the L33 for Iso and they also have an excellent reputation. In the West, I think it might be Randy McNeil representing them (SCA Systems), and if so, he is outstanding as well.

Price, fit & finish, ease to maintain, the entire "look". You will have one that "grabs" you more - purchase that one. Neither will be a mistake, salon owners who know what they are doing are making money with both, so as long as you know how to price and market it, you will find you have the opportunity to make a lot of profits with either!

Re: TA X2 vs ISO Matrix 33??

Sunsally,

you seem to know what you are talking about when it comes to HP beds. I am in the market for one as well, I have Ergoline in all of my salon, but I am a little hesitant to go with their 1050...as I hear that it is not a TRUE HP BED???
What do you know about the ISO L28 and L33?
Does it work with the Intellitan CCS IV?

I would appreciate any input from you guys,
thanks

Re: TA X2 vs ISO Matrix 33??

Exotic, the 1050 uses all Hp lamps so it is a HP bed. The point that people are trying to make when they say it is not a true HP bed is that the main benefit to a HP bed is a customer can go the maximum or near maximum time the first time in the bed. The customer can get a base tan in 3 or 4 sessions and will only have to tan 2-3 times per month to mantain the tan. This is because most of the moderate HP beds are only putting out 2-3 meds per sesion.

The 1050 is putting out 4 meds per session which negates the advantage of HP. It is putting out 4 meds just like a vhr bed. It is more powerful than a vhr. A Magic, Mastersun, and the Matrix are examples of a moderate HP bed. The 1050 and the Leonardo are examples of the more aggresive HP bed.

Re: TA X2 vs ISO Matrix 33??

so would you recommend the 1050? How do I sell the 1050 to my customers when they want to go in there for their 1st session for the full 10 minutes?
Wouldnt I be better off with a matrix?
