What matters most
These share a 10-year frame, 5 years on the mat and springs, and 2 on the pads, so build is not the question. The 16 HD is about $2,499; the ACON X 17ft is about $3,999, a $1,500 jump for the larger size. ACON publishes no single-user limit on either model, but recommends a limit of 300 lb. The ACON X needs more clear yard space and is aimed at buyers who specifically want maximum jumping area; for most families the 16 HD delivers the same performance feel in a more practical footprint.
