Where the two actually differ on the specs we track (6 of 7). Matching specs are omitted.
Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
Two whitelisted testers (Tom's Guide, TechRadar) reviewed the standard Magnus Pro hands-on and both rate it among the best standing desks they've used, praising its steel build, rock-solid stability, and integrated cable management. Neither logged lab measurements (no lift-speed or noise numbers). Main gripes: premium price, black-only, and pricey accessories. (2 sourced reviews.)
Praised: Solid all-steel build with no sway or wobble even at maximum height; Integrated full-length cable management tray with power routed through the leg; Magnetic steel desktop and proprietary magnetic accessories (mats, monitor arms, light strip).
Flagged: Premium / expensive pricing; First-party accessories are costly to fully kit out; Black only and limited sizes (large and XL, no compact option).
