DDR Dance Pads

[Rampax]

Anyone out there play DDR??
I'm looking for a metal hard dance pad and am wondering which one I should get. I do currently own one, but the buttons are all cracked and have trouble responding. I would replace just the panels, but I've been playing long enough to invest in a new one.

I play, but I only own soft pads so I cant help you out of experience, but, doesnt RedOctane make good Metal pads?

Im looking for people who have owned the pads and have played on them. Im looking for mainly durability. The soft pads are mainly for beginners or those who dont play a lot. I have modded my soft pads before, but they just do not compare to the hard dance pads.
