Hey all,  Daughter is getting a new band set for her mini and got me to wondering about the 2 options for her patio metal table (flowery pattern with gaps).  I couldn't find any prices for these items.  Has anyone here have a preference between the 2?

    Does she plan to travel with it?

    You did mean the old Mini and not the Maxi Mini?

    I don’t think either would be ideal on a metal table with gaps, but you could put down a small tile to create a smooth surface. Like @WeberWho said, how often you need to move it would play into this. Another point, the mini in the carrier could be moved while it’s still hot.
    Thank you,

    I think I'd get the carrier between the two. It makes more sense in my opinion. That's just me though.

    There were some comments on my Companion thread a few days ago (I bought a Mini to go with my Medium) that referenced a great thread about the original ring/feet affair. The bottom fell out of several Minis with that device.
    I removed mine and set the Mini on the green BGE feet since I had a set handy. The Mini has recesses in the bottom for those. This was more stable than the ring/feet device.
    Then at someone's suggestion, I ordered a Carrier. Hasn't arrived yet, but it looks stable and has carrying handles, a huge improvement. I'd be able to move it while it's hot. The Carrier was $70.
