Star Sound Sistrum pltfm? About to pull trigger.

My CD player has been knocked off the Audio Points TWICE by family members. Tom Lyons responded to my initial email very promptly (QUITE impressive). I did what he suggested, but still had the second "event." I've read that the Sistrum Platform is GREAT, and I already have the discs. On the points, the CD player was great sounding, and I'm not real anxious to change technologies. I tried isolation (Audioquest "Q" things) and in my system, coupling (with the points) was better.

OK, OK, so here's the question: Can anyone think of a reason that the Sistrum would be a BAD idea? Things that are good: 1)my dealer carries them; 2)Tom Lyons himself answered my email--fast; 3)the Audio Points already worked well, and the Sistrum is SAID to be even better; 4)the Sistrum wouldn't fall over, I'm pretty sure. So, anything to "beware" of? Nothing is coming to mind for me.

Saw this at a recent demo, and it does not have a built in barbed wire fence to keep away bodies in motion. Worked perfectly to hold a big CDP in position while the sound was wonderful. Is your plan to have points up into bottom surface of your CDP, or to use upside-down discs (which could be moved by family members) to interface with bottom surface of CDP?
This is a great idea for getting best sound, just never underestimate the ingenuity of the masses to push and shove your gear.
I'll buy any of your leftover Audio Points which I also use with great benefit.
