Better for Launch Pro LPi (Indoor Edition)
- Space-Constrained
Photometric beside-the-ball footprint works in ~10 ft-depth rooms. Indoor-only positioning matches the constraint exactly — no compromise on the ranges that matter for tight rooms.
Better for GC3
- Showroom
No subscription required — ownership rather than rental. The premium choice for buyers who want to control long-term costs.
