After 8 years, my Jazzy 1143 is on its last legs, so to speak. I'm considering either the Permobil 300 (that's a lot of seat), or the Sunrise Rhythm (which I think looks like a safari vehicle). Any experience with either/or?

Thanks.

I got a $37,000 Permobil 300, I should have got another Quickie....... Never had a problem with the Quickie in 16 years.....
Permobil has been worked on 3 times in 1 year.....

I have a Sunrise Rhythm. Its preforms real nice. I am still new to all this T4 Para from Sept 06.
Really like the chair...lots of hills where I live...Point Richmond, CA, USA.
I am looking at the chasswheel fourX for the future outdoorsy chair?

After my accident besides becoming a T-6 incomplete para I ripped both shoulders to pieces and dislocated one wrist. I was orderd a Permobil chairman entra and love it. Couldn't believe the cost. Allegedly $28,000.00 Thank god for insurance. I still use it to relax around house but can't take in anywhere because it weighs over 300 lbs. After 3 years I now use a manual quickie Ti 90 % of the time. Its he only cardio work I get. But the chair permobil is great. Elevates to reach counters. Tilts for pressure relief and goes pretty darn fast.
