Hi again
I decided to get either a spider or a spider pro...
Now... what are exactly the differences between the two? Besides the regular being cheaper Wink

The K&M website says the pro's upper tier is tilted more but is the tilt adjustable in any way? And isn't the pro version actually shorter then the regular? The height is kinda important to me, 'cause I'm a tall guy (195 cm) Wink

Which one should I get?
I'm using an M3-73 and a Triton LE76.
I might also get a second one later and place my keyboards next to each other instead of a 2-tier setup for a better on-stage look Wink

I had the same decision over a year ago. I am 6' 2"
and have 3 boards to stack ( rd700sx, Triton Extreme 76 and XS Motif 76)

My Rd700sx is on a Quic Lok WS550 table top stand

I set the arms up above that on my Spyder pro to support the Extreme and XS

The arm tilt is critical for me to see the LCD on my Extreme. The arms tilt down on a 20 degree angle

The maximum heigth on the Pro allows enough ' clearance ' between the arms supporting the Extreme and XS

Study the dimensions carefully between the Spyder and the Pro. I do not recall a significant height difference

My Pro came with a set of 3 adjustable arms. I am using 2 sets

So you got the pro version and you're happy with it?
Any regular version users? I wonder if the upper tier with no tilt is any good.
The K&M website says this:

Spider: Wt: 9.2 kg; H: 1410 mm, Depth: 280 mm.
Spder pro: Wt: 9.7 kg; H: 1310 mm, Depth: 300/475 mm.

Looks like the regular is 10 cm taller.

Thanks for your reply

thats good to know, the 'regular' is 4 inches taller.

Very happy with the Pro. It was the best solution for me

The tilt arms and support of extra wide ( 16 inches) workstations was a must have for me

I just ordered a Pro... I'll probably be gettin' second one in a few months.
Btw, the funny thing is that I ordered it from Germany for less than I'd pay for the regular one (which is like 20% cheaper than the pro) in Poland, including shipping Smile

Hi!

Good choice!
My personal opinion is always to get the best you can afford at the moment: if you have enough money to buy the Pro, than get it, in the future you'll have the opportunity to use it in the best way!

BTW, the main difference is the maxim weight capacity per tier, if you've got an 88 weighted keybs version probably the Pro is the best choice.

regards

You know - the only thing that concerned me what its height.
But I guess I'll be using 2 single-tier ones anyway Smile
