    Quoted from mbaumle:

    I really like my escalera. Mine is no frills. The smaller one (MS-60), no accessories, and it fits my needs perfectly. Dimensions aren't much larger than a standard appliance dolly, so I can fit a game, and the escalera in my minivan at the same time. It's been a workhorse, successfully moving everything from small EMs, to giant WPC and System 3 games, and even a huge 800 pound gun safe--easily up and down stairs.

    Mines the same ... got it new from Zach at Flippin' Out. Zach will be patient with you and steer you in the right direction. Only things I added were the topside grab handles (glad I did and they are cheap) and a second battery due to moving my entire collection over 2 days. If you have a straight set of stairs and a long landing, with no (or wide) turns on your stairs, I would go with the 66" as you'll appreciate the leverage from that extra height. 60" works great but will require a bit more "muscle" to manage/balance the load. Great advice that others here have already given is to watch for used ones that might require repairs even though it technically works. Poorly handled Escalera's can have wheel and/or chain damage (and more). You don't want your Craigslist bargain Escalera to have a structural failure under load. Not saying every second hand one is risky, just do your homework
