Default power chair

I had my eval today for a power chair.

The rep recommended either the Permobil C300 Corpus or the Quickie Freestyle Full.

He is coming back on Thursday with both for me to see, test out in home and thru yard to car.

Wondering if anyone has any insight on either of these?

I require truncal support so need more a rehab type seat rather than standard captains seat.

on another note, i am also trying to find a minivan conversion to purchase so that I can transport the power chair. can't with my current vehicle. fingers crossed i can find a van soon. fingers crossed whichever powerchair decide on insurance will approve first time and not deny just to prolong the process.

I really would love to have the powerchair and van by Mid January so I can take the powerchair on the cruise I am going on Jan 27. <G> a girl can dream right that everything will happen quickly, and no problems and have both by then right? LOL

thanks

***I am posting this in several forums hoping someone somewhere will see it and know something about either of these chairs.
