Yeah, that would be the smartest thing to do. But since I'm in Germany, there aren't too many manufacturer reps touring the republic with their demo tours all the time. If I am lucky, I can make it to an Aerodyne demo this weekend, but they haven't got the ZPX version of their canopies, just ZP.
And PD charges 155€ (about 230$) for sending me a demo, not to mention that I would have to go to a rigger to have the main attached to my PC/pod and risers.. a little bit of a hassle.
So I read a lot of threads about those two mains and almost everybody was positive about them. Not as good as demoing myself, but it's a start. I jumped Sabres and Storms from my buddies, but none of them got a Pulse or Pilot in my size
If you can demo then do it.... but my opinion is go with the Pilot or the Safire with the Safire being my choice of the two. But that is just my opinion..... Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.
