I think you guys might be talking about the RS5000s. Yes, the RS5000s are
too darn stiff. I used them for a while until my kidneys had had enough.
But the new RS9000s have a 9-way dampering adjustment where you can set the
level of stiffness you like. I use'em now and like them alot. But they are
alittle pricer than the DT3000s. I used the DT3000s a while too. They were
Ok and a good comprimise for the price, but I personally thought they were a
little too soft for my rig. I have no experience with the Old Man Emu's and
the RSXs.

No, I mean the RSX9000, 9 position adjustable, with or without the
optional in-cab control. Some folks consider them too stiff. I
don't as I also have them, but I ain't everyone.
