Any advice. Do know I want dependable (been pleased by my Invacare TDX-SP), tilt mechanism. flip up footrest (must have for self-toileting, air,gel cushion. Any thoughts? Experiences? Can't get on a scooter.

Why not get another Invacare TDX-SP? Looks to me as if it has a flip up footrest but I did find this announcement on the Webpage:

Invacare has entered into a consent decree of injunction with the FDA that may limit our ability to provide this product.

Not sure what that means but is there a reason why you need to get a new chair, kicker?
I've been lucky enough not to need a power chair but have a manual one and have tried a few power chairs. I haven't had enough experience with them to know anything much. I'd be inclined to go for the lightest weight chair I could find but that might mean a less stable chair, and that wouldn't be safe.
