...I can see where a flat top would be key. When I first started using mine, flat seemed really important, but not so much now that nearly everything I do could be done on a smaller surface.

"That and being relatively heavy compared to the ASOs peddled everywhere, while still being a size that you can easily lift and walk around with without ending up hunched over the next day."

Some of those cast iron ASOs aren't even worth lifting, from what I've seen. I noticed my anvil has put on weight over the years. When I first got it, if it was up high enough I could lock my arms under it lift it with by straightening my back. Not a chance these days. Now it takes two people to move it, and that's getting much harder from whatever end I choose. I'm pretty sure I couldn't even lift the Titan, these days, another reason to not buy.

Sounds like you can be pretty choosy where you live. I got mine when I lived in MA but not a lot of old anvils here in FL. They're not getting any cheaper, that's for sure.
