I purchased a VanCore 5 octave. I did it for 2 reasons: the price was where I wanted it to be and the qualty of the instrument. I enjoy the height adjustment and the sound is warm, not "clanky". All of the instruments mentioned here have a lt of positives. I hear Gordon Stout play on a Mallet Tech last January and the sound was amazing, it was an instrument belonign to a student at an regional university. I played on a DeMorrow during grad school and can only say it was one of the greatest musical experiences of my life. The Coe instruments are second to none. I am probably the only person on this board to not really care for the Marimba One instruments, the crank system was not very satisfying and to time consuming. Good luck with your search and keep enjoying the marimba. Tony Steve prof. of Percussion Jacksonville University Jacksonville,FL
