Best under- 500 audio stand?

I have a five shelf top of the line Atlantis with mdf shelves. The steel posts are fillable and all of the shelves are mounted on points. It seems to be a fine, stable and attractive unit.

It seems to be coming down to a choice between the Atlantis Reference or the Salamander Synergy. I can get them both for somewhere between $400 and $500 new. What do you think?

Thanks.

Atlantis has a more "modern" looking design. Salamander is available in several finishes and either silver or black for the posts. The Salamander is flexible in that you can add or subtract shelves later, or even add on a whole new "bridged" unit for HT or a bigger system in the future. I loved them both, but bought the Salamander Synergy because the finish of the wood (cherry) matched my speakers perfectly (and they were called "rosewood"). The Synergy can be ordered w/spikes or casters. Don't know about the Atlantis. From what I remember, the Reference has a fixed height first shelf that is very tall, for amps. I wasn't going to put my amp in that space, so I didn't need the space and wanted to have an extra shelf for components. Therefore the Synergy. You'll have to decide based on all of these (and I'm sure other) considerations for yourself. You won't go wrong either way.
