Yeah I love the way those D Command desks look. I guess if you are already spending $30k+ for the console, $5k isn't that much for the desk. At least that's probably how they rationalize it.

Mine is exactly like the pic.(Aura 260)
Its like being in the cockpit of a 747(smile)
My racks are underneath the desk on both sides.
They are built like a tank and very pro in appearance and functionality.

Their price went up as I paid $1895.00 two years ago and when it came,the top had a slight chip, so they sent me a replacement and let me keep the first one as a backup and...I get an Argosy coffee cup at Christmas...and great customer service.

argosy look really shity in real life, without the fancy lighting.. also if you wanna buy a desk that is usable, dont buy argosy..if you only want a nice officedesk to write on argosy might be suitable..

try this one..

Geez.... I only paid $2200 for a custom Maple desk. No particle board or MDF anywhere.

Argosy products are mostly particle board.
Sterling Modular is MDF which is much more rigid and stronger.
I have worked on a few different desks including Argosy and SM, and I have to say that I haven't seen much outside of a custom shop that is better crafted than the SM, the SM desks are also designed to have a small acoustic footprint which should be high on the list of desk requirements.
