Hi Steak,
First off you've got to realize that there is a lot of hype in this business. Everyone has a 'revolutionary new method' that is a 'break through in the industry.' Don't believe that crap! That $3,500 'suction wig' is our standard TL 400 PSB unit. It's made from a mould or template just like our lace units. It's often been said that the artificial skin units such as the TL 400 PSB or TL 700 New Generation base 'vacuum' themselves to the head. That's why many users don't even use glue or tape to attach---they use 'Got 2 Be Glued Spiking Glue' that you can get from your local drugstore. These units are custom made to fit exactly to your head---so you don't need a strong adhesive or tape to attach. Don't fall for the hype. Some people even say that if a unit comes from a certain country that it is somehow better. I'd like to know what exactly that certain country does to make their units better. It's hogwash.
There's something in your post that I don't understand. In one area you say that your sides are 'super thin' and that won't allow you to blend in a topper with your own hair. But then you say you've got plenty of hair on your back and sides and that the top is quickly fading. If you do have good sides and back you can go with a topper. If the sides and back are really thin you might be better off with a full cap but that's a judgment call. At any rate, paying $3,500 for a unit is ridiculous. Even if you wear shoulder length hair we can do the unit (full cap or topper) for far less and same yourself thousands of dollars. If you'd like to post photos of your current hair condition I can better advise you as to which way to go---topper of full cap. Or if you prefer not to post them on the forum you can send them to me at:

And yet a third alternative is to do a private webcam consultation with Debbie. The cost is $59 but you will receive a 15% discount off your first order. We look forward to helping you.
