CF vs. Blueshark

Alright guys, I've got a question...

I'm in a debate about either getting the CF w/ the arcade mod or the Blueshark w/ a bar. The CF has great durability (from what I have heard) and sensitivity, but the blueshark has the bar and an arcade-like sensor setup. For playing w/ my PS2 setup, I don't need the Blueshark's bar, because I already have one (the foot board for my bed), but for my StepMania setup (w/ arcade judgement) I do, so the Blueshark would come in handy. When bringing my setup, the Blueshark has the bar, but from what I hear it is very heavy (but does the bar come off?). If I get the CF, I don't know if I have the time and effort to make a bar for it, so this is my plan.

If I get the CF, I might order a Blueshark bar and attach it to my CF in a way that is removable. If I am told this cannot work, what should I use to make a bar (that is removable of course)?

If I get the Blueshark, how long is it's projected lifespan, and what should I do to make moving it around easier?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. I'm not getting any answers in the CF thread which I posted in before this, so this is why I'm making this thread

CF is waaaaaaaaay better

I'm not sure if you can take a blueshark bar and attach it to a CF, but there's plenty of guides on how to make a bar for a CF on their forum....which is down right now

I'm not sure if the bar is removable, but I know you wouldn't be able to attatch it to a CF. As you can tell from this picture, the pad has an extended base for the bar to fit which isn't on the CF. You can build a bar for your CF by making a base and using metal piping (there's a tutorial on the CF forums, which seem to be down ATM *shrug*) which would probably be more durable. The bar on the Blueshark looks like it'll snap easily anyway.

Well, would it help if I told you I couldn't make my own bar? I don't have the tools, expertise, or help (and I'm only 14).

You can buy a bar to use off of the site with the bluesharks. It's like, 40 bucks for the bar with the leather on it.

From what I hear though, the Blueshark is a good pad.

But I've never used a CF or a Blueshark so...
