I ordered the Saunders VT-1400 V-Track 11x14.

It is amazing. It weighs 14 pounds and is rock solid. It has a built in spring thing that holds the blades in place no matter the height when you lift it open.

It is sweet.

Freestyle has it for $219 while B&H has it for $300.

Definitely worth every penny.
 
I have one of these and I agree it is very nice but it is also a huge monster. If you have a smaller enlarger it may not move back far enough on smaller prints. I have a Beseler 23C and it is difficult to make 8x10 prints with this easel. I also have a smaller Saunders 11x14 that I picked up used for $25. I use it for 8x10s and the big one for 11x14 but the big one is nicer to work with.


Regards,
Bill
 
I have the 11X14 and the 20X24. Almost everything I print is on these two easels. They are HEAVY. That mean they are great for repetition as they don't move.
