Hi Paul, I believe it's the same dolly, but you need to call Jansen and find out the institutional/wholesale price before you compare. I've installed a few of them and I think they're great, and I've always used a tilter. (Let me know if you want pictures.) Some people don't like them because the dollies are screwed to the bottom board, but I haven't found it to be a problem, weight distribution-wise. -Zeno On Tue, May 4, 2010 at 8:57 AM, Paul T Williams <pwilliams4 at unlnotes.unl.edu > wrote: > Hi all, > > I need to buy a good caster system for one of our Disklaviers.
