I always get invacare stuff, and the base price on my new chair is $6500. Of course the final price is 25,000. Since base on peremobiles are mostly above $20,000 it may be difficult to get CMS or even an insurance company to go for it. Ultimately, most chairs boil down to comfort scale. If you don't fit in it right you will never like it. Peremobiles do rock and are far better but invacare keeps trying to stay 10 years behind. Always working toward mediocrity. It does make you mad that a peremobile aleady has most of the additions standard invacare has to add on. Good luck getting one.

I've always had an arrow or a storm. My new storm is not working out. I'm thinking Permobil C 350 corpus or the C 500 RS. Is there any advice you can give between these two. I know the 350 is rear wheel drive and the 500 is front wheel drive. They both say they can go 6.5 mph. But are the motors the same? Battery life the same? I do need a chin control. I'm not going to wear that harness. I'd like to mount the chin control on a swing away arm. Anybody out there like that? What kind of switch do you have to switch modes? Any advice is appreciated.
