One of my local walls has both, so I should probably go and do a couple of sessions & then decide.
Thanks guys. Looks like no clear consensus either way (counting Nibs as a vote for both - some kind of Italian PR voting system). 1000: surely more than adequate for my current needs.2000: would be more of an ego/ambition stroker.One of my local walls has both, so I should probably go and do a couple of sessions & then decide.
I've been using a 1000 as my main fingerboard for some time and it's been easily adequate for training into the low-mid font 7s. Even once you reach that stage there's more than enough you can do on it to get stronger, I certainly have many goals on it that I still feel a long way off (ie. hanging any hold on it that isn't massive one-handed). As Dexter said, the main holds the 2000 has that the 1000 doesn't are two-finger slopey pockets and 45 degree slopers, both of which I would not have considered going anywhere near when I was at a 6b level (they still both feel near-impossible even now). Also, if you manage to get any finger injuries on it the jugs on the 1000 are a godsend and way more comfortable (imo) than a bar to do pullups on.
Ensure you mount correctly... :/
