I want to get a pair so I can be competetive in the club TT's, and so I can at least try some USCF TT's eventually. Will the lower end model be good enough, or might it cause fit problems?

Thanks for the help

I just grabbed my trusty parts catalog and noticed the PROFILE - GT. It's half way in price and appears to have adjustable arms. This reads 375g. Maybe that might be worth looking at too.
