What matters most

Install type and price are the real story. The HERO 15ft is about $999 and drops into most yards with no digging. The Akrobat 17x10 Flat is about $3,299 and is designed to sit flush with the ground, which means excavation and a bigger commitment. The Akrobat also carries much longer cover: a lifetime frame, 12 years on springs, and 5 years on the mat and pads, against the HERO's 10-year frame and 5-year mat and springs. Decide on above-ground versus in-ground first; everything else follows from that.
