I'm torn between the Harmony and the Fusion. I like the Harmony $ and colors, but curious about Fusion's density (comfy for knees etc). Thoughts?

Advice for people with healthy knees: If you're alright with doubling over the mat for positions which put your weight on your knees, then go for the Harmony. The Harmony mat bends and unbends really easily. I never feel hassled when I fold the mat over to protect my knees. Also, Harmony's thinness makes it ideal for balance poses. I sometimes find that cushier mats affect my balance. However, if you suffer from knee issues, then disregard everything I just said and get the density. My husband has had knee surgery after sports accidents, thus he uses thick mats because of existing miniscus damage. It's imperative that he do so, because knee issues never go away and only get worse over time.

I love the mat. Great grip(I do hot yoga ) and holds up against sweat. It is dense thought I do put a cheap mat underneath. Most would be ok without but I am very sensitive to pressure in my knees.

I'm not familiar with Joyo, I would imagine based on price, they should sound somewhat about the same, however if the cost is "much less" I would think the quality and workmanship may be a factor.

Longest in class. Minimalist is most popular in this group. I like the snarl for all purposes first. If u r not using as a utility or primary defense then the any of these will serve well as a "get off me" piece.

I can only speak for the one I purchased and I chose it since it seemed better than the APEX. One thing to note the front pads can be a bit stiff when new and will take some breaking in. Then you don't want too soft at the beginning as the soft one's may wear out sooner. At any rate, the one I got is substantial.

I have and use this ball but have never used the Barre3 core ball so comparison is a bit difficult. I do love the FitBall for giving me just the little bit of support I need for my back and for being the right size and texture to stay between my knees and ankles while I'm doing some of my exercises. However, I did find a forum where one very knowledgeable person did a comparison of the Barre3 & FitBall. He seems to think the FitBall is better. As I am not heavy into core fitness and strengthening - at 65 I am a bit more cautious - I thought I would share his post. http://www.videofitness.com/~vfwnk/forum/showthread.php?t=175851 - hope this helps.

Same here. After about a year and a half, I seem to be losing buttons by the month. Either they stop working, or require massive pressure, and then they repeat. Dissapointed, but will have to replace since I've become dependant on the functionality. Maybe the harmony one, with it's hard buttons, will be more resilient?

Hey there. For me, the lumbar support is good, and I'm a big guy! Hard to judge personal preferences when it comes to comfort though. Great value for the price. Hope this helps West

Awesome, thanks SD! The Panny G10 and V10 sets looks great and I love plasmas (have a Pioneer 5020 up in the bonus room), but I need an LCD for my living room due to a space issue (those 2 inches make a difference). If for any reason I don't love the B750, I'll be exchanging it for a 50" G10. Thanks again!

I'm going with a iBlason case from amazon. $9.95. Should be here Friday. I may use just the stiff plastic portion to stretch across the back. I ordered a Seidio Duplex (sp?] holster. Love Seidio products. Have them for all former phones; using the frame from my note2 with notes holster, but is only temp. fix. No one has a deeper back for extended battery version yet. Hoping the cheaper iBlason will do for now. Love the note 3.

You would have to try the blue (less firm) one. I only have the black one so I cant make a comparison. The blue one would have been too soft for me.

I haven't tried the hybrid. I was trying to choose between the hybrid and the slim armor. From the review videos I watched, it seems like the hybrid is a bit thinner than the slim armor. But I can't tell 110%

Well I just tried mine tonight. I had HORRIBLE luck. Make that no luck. Where I get amazing and great feeling results with the standard 2 by 2 inch on all 4 modalities (tens, IF, EMS, Micro) each and every one of these felt like garbage except the tens alone and even IT felt restrained and "shocky". I will try again tomorrow with different positioning. I had them run vertically tonight and very VERY high since I had applied expensive Penetrex Pain Cream on my lower lumbar area and had to stay above that. Will lower the pads tomorrow but NO way I will try horizontal (even with the electrode gap in the middle) as I have 6 fusions. NO way I will risk going near all the Titanium in my spine.

I love mine, but it depends more on personal fit, i.e., where your 'sit bones' are. This one is perfect for me, with the open design for the soft parts. It is very comfortable for the long rides.

Oh No ! Don't tell me they are Discontinued... I had to try True Blues ... True Blues are bulky and textured... I feel like I am putting Hulk hands on in Character.

The Fusion fits just fine. 'power fusion' I can not attest too, don't own one.

We use both of ours daily, but have not had them long (2-3 months). So far...no visible wear and they are still very comfortable. If I had a choice, the only thing I would like more is one more level of reclining (full reclining). The two current reclining levels (there is also an upright level) are nice, but a full recline would be superb. We have no regrets.

Thanks, Henry. I have this on my AMAZON Wish List and must decide in the next week or so. I'm leaning toward the BLUE.
