Recommending a pad for a friend...

A friend of mine has been playing ddr for a while now and tells me that she will be getting a metal pad for b-day/christmas/some holiday. She asked me what kind of pad I would recommend. Now, I know that CF and Blueshark are pretty much the most reliable brand. But they seem more directed to the people wanting an arcade experience and something that can get them through 10+ footers/blocks. So I thought about recommending her a TX-1000 pad. Now I know that these pads wear out after alot of use, but keep in mind that she plays mostly light mode. And is only beginning to tackle standard mode.
Any recommendations?

I wouldn't get a TX considering my friend has one and my modded soft pad outlasted it by 3 years with me both playing probably 5x as much as her and having a good 60lbs over her. Now that I think about it I remember she got it for her birthday and it broke at her birthday party.

Yeah, if you reccomend a TX mat, only reccomend a TX-4000 or TX-6000, TX-2000 and Tx-1000 are pure garbage.

dont get a metal pad? the BNS DX fusion and sparkles are great and mine can handle even 11 and 12 footers in ITG.

Actually, TX-1000's wear out after a little use. Players who are hardcorerer than the average Joe would want a CF or a Blueshark. The Blueshark has the most arcade like feel, while the CF is most durable. Just make sure that if your friend gets the CF, it's a CF with an arcade mod. Just never doubt the CF's durability, because somewhere there is a video of some people running cars and SUV's over one and then playing Holic on it with no pad errors.

Try to find a konami soft pad and mod it , should work just fine. I modded my pump pad with this tutorial here:

and I can pass hard crazy's like chimera and dignity just fine.

u arent gonna wanna play on the BNS with shoes unless you do some mod to the surface. it's still my favorite pad i've ever owned tho, and i used to own a flux(i just sold it because i realized i was fine with my BNS and liked not having to use adapters to hook it up to the PC). unless u need the arcade feel, the BNS is the perfect pad IMO.
