Look at http://www.excelsports.com/new.asp?page=7&major=1&minor=1 Litespeeds
are great but Merlins are better.

Excel also has a pretty great deal on the Time VX if you can get one in your
size. I can't get one big enough for me but I've heard nothing but glowing
reports on them.
 
Sorry, but after the melding of the two, Mer-speeds and Lite-lins are
really a wee bit different design of the same thing.

I have had had people tell me that the welds on the Merlins were way
better with the both brands sitting next to each other and obviously
the same...makes you wonder.
