Hi Guys,
Need some feedback from people who have used one or both of these. I'm looking at getting a dolly and seemed to have narrowed it down to these two. I know they are a little different, one being a ride on the other a sled type. But I'm really having a hard time picking between the two.

Pro's
- can be ridden on allowing the operator to focus on solely operating camera
- seems well built
- can be packaged into two carry bags (3 with curved track)
Con's
- heavier
- looks like a longer setup time
- need an extra pair of hands to fully take advantage of the ride on feature
- more expensive

Pro's
- lighter
- quicker setup
- one man band operatable
- easier to travel with
- cheaper price
Con's
- can't be ridden on - operater has to operate dolly as well as camera
Could owners/uses chime in and let me know their thoughts on either one. At the end of the day quality of shot is highest priority, but versatility and portability would also be great.
Cheers.
