I love my Mini!

They don't get much love here at TB, but I like the Pedalpad...I mounted my Voodoo Lab PP2+ under the panels and have room for about 10 pedals or so...It's nice and solid, and allows you to route and hide the cables under the panels...

I have also heard that they are making an isolated version of their power supply...

DIY ftw! As stated, you can build it how you want and make it look like what you want, cheap and easy, lots of fun. I built mine in shop class last year and when i take a second shop class next year and we work on welding i'm gonnna make another one, similar to the Pedaltrain.

Pedaltrains are nice but I don't like the big ones because if you want to hit something on the top tier, you have to go unbalanced. For big boards, NYC pedalboards make some good stuff. I have a Pedtrain PT1 as well because the step isn't drastic like the PT-Pro.

For me pedaltrain was the way to go because of the tough design and the fact that they include mounting hardware for a power source. I got a PT2 with a hard case and since have had no worries transferring my board anywhere. When I'm set up with the right tools I do hope to custom make my next board to be something I can easily add to and take away from depending on whatever situation arises. But for now I've got all my pedals set up with some room for more friends.

DIY. Your imagination is the limit. You can size and customize to exact spec, and then do it all over again.

I started with a DIY board, and now I build my own pedals, and I am about to gut and rewire my mutt Yamaha fretless (made fretless by me).

The money spent on an inanimate object that has zero affect on my sound just doesn't work for me.

Of course, I am not a luthier, and have yet to build a bass from the plank up, so what do I know.

I'm a Pedaltrain fan because of the light weight (aluminum), durability, and rail design. However, when you're really cramming your board with pedals, a multi-tier design like the ones made by NYC Pedalboards may be more useful and keep you from stepping on knobs. It's all a matter of preference and circumstance.

I loved the Pedaltrain 2 that I had, all the cables tucked away and out of sight. I used a onespot and a bunch of angled adapter power cables to keep the bottom flat while using a surge protector (I think it was theMutt that pointed them out to me).

Right now I'm using a furman and it's ok, I think it fits all the junk I have better than the PT2 would have. If I was to get a different board, it would probably be the pedaltrain pro.

My guitarist went the DIY route, and unless you build your own cover for it, or at least build it with common hardcase dimensions in mind, you're SOL when it comes to protecting your pedals. If you're going to go DIY, I would recommend either building an attachment cover, or looking into dimensions for mixer hard cases as it would be cheaper to order something like that than do a custom case type deal.
