On the same thread, what dollies work for a console piano?

Both dollies work well and don't elevate the piano significantly.  The main 
point is why they want the dolly.  If it is to move the piano to the front 
of a room and back, the small one does fine.  If they want to go room to 
room and go over thresholds and uneven floors they had better get the large 
wheels one.  The big wheels really are better, but if the moving is 
minimum......

A church client called me today and asked me to order a dolly for
their Yamaha upright (don't think it's a U-series - maybe like a T-118
or so). I don't have much experience with these. Anyone have a
recommendation? I'm thinking something like the #4009 Upright Twin
Dollies from Pianotek would do the job. Do these hold up? I see they
have a #4010 heavy duty dolly with bigger wheels - but does that put
the piano way up in the air? Any input would be appreciated.
