Pearl HiHat Stands - H-900 vs H-1000?

[romicsteve]

I'm looking to buy a new Pearl hihat stand to go with my Eliminator pedal. I prefer a 3 legged stand, so the H-900 and H-1000 seem like the best choices. Can anyone tell me whether the H-1000 is worth the extra $40 street price difference, compared to the H-900?

If there is a difference worth $40 I don't see it.

See:
Pearl 1000 hihat
vs.
Pearl 900 hihat

The dirty little secret is that the 900 series Pearl hardware is essentially the same as the 1000 series but with less fancy cosmetics.

the only differences i can see that don't seem to be asthetic are that the bit that joins the footboard is different, and the h900 looks sturdier. thats it!!
