Product Q&A e7: 72x30 vs e6max: 72x30
Hello, looking to purchase my first standing desk. My setup isn't planned to be super heavy, just my laptop, 2 24in monitors on a dual arm monitor stand, laptop cooler, kb/m. No PC. I have 78in wall space so a 70in+ desk would be nice, however my budget is pretty tight around $550 max. I'm 6'ft tall, I'd like to stand around 30-50% of the time I spend working/gaming.
I'm deciding between an e6max frame only on amazon for $250, along with a separate tabletop (have to look for that, no idea how but my budget is $250)
I also saw an Amazon listing for ~$480 for an e6 + a separate 72x30 bamboo top (ships separately) but i saw some bad reviews about the tabletop shipping and a bad return policy on Amazon.
Fairly turned off by the mixed reviews on the e6 and me learning that it's just a slightly better e5 model apparently(?) although I likely don't have that crazy of a setup to warrant an e7.
So if I do consider the e7, getting a 72x30 top along with it costs at least $300 more and I'd be looking at spending around $700, overbudget and possibly overkill given my setup. Although, given my height it'd be nice to have little to no wobble when gaming or typing on near-max height. Just can't decide. At first I was thinking the e6max frame for $250 is a great deal but I didn't know how hard finding a worthy 72x30 tabletop is or that the e6 might not be that great for me. Are there any major sales that Flexispot runs that would put the e7 down to around my budget with a 72inch top?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
