Dom - I have an Aristocrat end table, and while I love it, I am thinking about consolidating it and my other two non-Aristocrat end tables to a single tall Aristocrat. At the end of the day, I am a lazy dude, and I hate all the constant deep knee bends I have to do with end tables. Having seen markem's set-up first hand, I was sold on the taller model. (You should see what that beauty does to a box of simple PLPCs -- you wouldn't believe how gracefully they have aged.
)
No matter what though, strongly consider a cooled unit. I don't know what your storage environment is like, but the best area of my house is subject to wild temperature swings, and the heat scares the hell out of me. I don't have a cooling system in any of my end tables, but I do have a couple set & forget systems installed. Even with those, I still have a couple pounds of beads in the bottom of each humidor.
Good luck, brother. I love my Aristocrat, and I have salivated over several more. Well worth the price, IMHO.
