does any one use or have used or know something about superior alignment systems,  I am just researching new braces and this is one I had seen , just a little worried about its strength, also the giraffe bracing system I have seen was wondering about them as well.  I have gone to my local aryxx rep (rona) they seem well recommended but they are going for 220 a pop which is a little more than I can afford right now, these seem a little more cost effective. any other suggestions are appreciated
Thanks N

Have had very good luck with Superior. Brace is easy to use, no extra parts, light for handling and easy to transport. Bracing does not have to be bulky or heavy in residential or light commercial work.

I have seen the Giraffe, Reechcraft, and Arxx bracing and all work very well. Depending on your location, you might be able to look for some "used" bracing if you don't need a lot, 40-50 sets or so. I know of a couple of guys in California that invested in bracing, but have gone in other directions with their companies after only doing a couple of projects. The only drawback would be that, if down the road you decide to purchase more bracing, you would have to purchase the same brand so that they line up.

I have not seen in person Superior Alignment System, so cannot vouch for it either way.

Good Luck!
