Adam Hall Monitor Isolation (ECO Series) -- anyone know *anything* about them?

Hi all, I'm looking into getting some monitor isolation pads, and I was
initially thinking of going for the Auralex Acoustics MoPADs; I phoned my local music
store to see if they had stock, but the sales guy also told me they have the Adam Hall ECO
monitor isolation pads (SPADECO2 - http://www.adamhall.com/en/Adam_Hall_Stands_PAD_ECO_Series_-__Monitor_Isol
ation_Pad_SPADECO2.html), which he claimed are "better and cheaper". Now,
I'd never heard of Adam Hall at all before, and Googling (as well as forum and site
searches here) have returned pretty much zilch. Does anyone use these or know anything
useful about them? Are they indeed "better" than the MoPADs? Any input is
appreciated!

Adam Hall are well known for cases and hardware. Since they use lots of foam in their
cases I guess branching out and offering different grades of foam for isolation would be
sensible for them. James.

I use the Universal Acoustics Vibro Pad, but I can't compare them to anything else. They
seem to do the job and I used the spare pieces under my sub (not in the studio) and the
foam seems to be holding up fine under the weight. I have the powered AE22s (in the
studio), which aren't exactly light either.

Thanks for the input!
I've decided to err on the side of caution and go with
the Auralex. To their detriment, Adam Hall have no real online presence or reviews, so I
have absolutely no idea how good or bad they are.
Cheers!

No on-line presence?
AH have a huge website and have been selling acoustic
treatment products for decades and are also the company behind several fairly familiar
products and were once owners of Fane, Warfdale, and others and still own Palmer, makers
of DI boxes, splitters and cable testers.
I have been buying from them since
1979 and they used to even do some MI stuff, including Ultimate Percussion and 3rd
Generation. They now distribute Faital Pro, Eminence Speakers, BMS Loudspeaker, Audac,
Neutrik Connectors, Amphenol und K&M Stands, as well as their own brands Palmer and
Liquid Dynamics.

Sorry, let me rephrase: (just about) no online presence with their monitor isolation
products.
This I say especially in comparison with Auralex, which has hundreds
of (mostly positive) reviews.

I'm putting this on here if it ever proves useful to anyone:
I went to the
music shop and had a look at both the Auralex and the Adam Hall. I couldn't perform an
acoustic comparison between the two as they were both in their packaging, but the Auralex
is noticeably denser and firmer than the Adam Hall, for what it's worth.
