Shurloc EZ frames and conversion kits?

[screenprintguy]

Hey guys, I've noticed is various member vids and pics, some of you are using EZ frames. First off, how do you like them, compared to newmans? Do they hold a good tension. I'm not big on trying to hold higher than 40 newtons, so if we are holding, on standard mesh types, 30-40, we are good. Obviously, I'm sure ease of use, like a ridged frame is there, so I'm sure that's a bonus. Also, has anyone used the EZ conversion kit to take your ridged frames that you may have invested in, and turn them into EZ frames? I was thinking about trying a 6 pack, but if I do this, I'll obviously have to also buy the stretcher and just wondering if it's worth it. We have a bunch of Newmans, but we have so many ridged frames, that we still use as well for certain jobs, the consideration of self stretching using the EZ kit has crossed my path.
Thoughts?

Thanks guys!

If you want to kick me up one of your static frames to have converted, I'll toss in a panel if you pay for the conversion ($21.75 for the 20x24 or $26.50 for the 23x31...) Just shoot me an email if you want to give it a try... ron@shurloc.com

Shurloc is a great company.  When I purchased my first batch, I went with 24 shurloc 150 ez frames and 36 conversion kits for my statics.  The 2 things I didn't like about the conversions is that I would have to leave a  space in between on the screen racks because they were too close together because of their thickness.  Also, if your static is warped then you'll end up with a higher tension warped frame.  I would go with the shurloc 125's because they are not much higher than the conversion kits and hold up well.
