I hear you Hotshot, but I wish it didn't wear off quite so fast. My Ex was scratched and warn very quickly. Didn't hurt the scrolling, but I would have liked it to look nice. The magnetic mat on the Seyco is a good idea, however, I and I think Doug also, find it is not as slick as we would like and waxing does not seem to help. I may remove my mat after it gets a little more worn. I also found out last evening that my brother-in-law and Nephew have the tools and knowledge to make me a new table if I desire, one without the extra big hole that the Seyco has. All I have to do is buy the piece of steel plate.
