Grand Action Dolly(s)

[reggaepass at aol.com]

I used the Jansen action dolly for many years.  Thought another, similar device would be redundant, but a colleague convinced me to buy Laroy's. I haven't used the Jansen since (although we might, if someone who can't lift an action is working at a grand while the Edwards dolly is in use elsewhere).

Does anyone know how much this action dolly from Jansen is? I can't find the price. 
Weighs app. 23 lbs.

Laroy's is $349.00 but it has bedding screws to be able to duplicate the keydip 
while out of the piano and even has a string height target thingee. Weighs app. 18 lbs.

Except for the things mentioned above, both seem to be similar as far as design is concerned. 
 
I'm thinking about getting one or the other. I'm getting old! :-) So far, the Edwards looks 
better because of the bedding screws and string height "target". 
 
Anyone tried both of them? Thanks.
