Xeon005 makes a good point about the higher number of edges etc. with a full -cap, which might lift ..with your very active lifestyle, this will have to be factored-in.Need is exactly the keyword here....not alone is the fullcap more `work`--particularly for a beginner-- but they are twice the cost of a normal topper so why shell out on the costs of a full cap, when you could have 2 normal systems for the same price ? I know the `TL-600`exercise base is a little dearer than you every-day system, but you could get 1 of them and 1 `good`lace system, for not much more than the cost of a fullcap --just something to consider along with everything else !
I`m in the position now [and will post pics in a new thread today to show it ]that i`ve gotten away with toppers for years...my own is continuing to thin so much that I`ve no choice now but to go full cap ..... I have still not gotten my template made [got all the materials for it but been so busy with other things...trying to set up my own business here ] so I have asked John to order me a new topper but with straight hair for a change, just to keep me going, and will go for the full-cap early in the new year I think........ You have the advantage of being younger and I assume anyway, that you still have reasonable side/back hair ....[ post a pic ? ] so why make more work for yourself by jumping straight into the full cap world .... I`d advise `walk before you can run` kind of approach...best wishes, Paul.
