just throwing another option out there but the spin-n-strut is american made, in the same price category (between the avian and DSD) and is a 1/2 to 3/4 strut that accepts real fans. the paint detail isnt as nice as the other two though

I placed an order for the DSD jake today.  Thanks again for all the help guys.

Just wanted to post that I received my DSD Jake this morning from Cabelas.  Wow, this thing is the real deal.  I put it up next to my real gobbler mount and it looked just as good.   I will try to post pics later.  The only thing that worries me is it looks so good I am afraid to get shot using it.   :z-guntootsmiley:

Having hunted over both last year, I will stick with DSD 110%

The DSD can withstand mounting, pecking, beating, etc.  I like how the ACE is firm, yet somewhat pliable.

The Zink looks fine, but almost impossible to keep standing if mounted, pushed around, etc.

Size is not critical to me, I've killed maybe 40+ birds over the tiny Sceery inflatables.

I think the Zink is a bit rich at $80.  For $40 more, I prefer the DSD.

I do think traveling with either one is cumbersome, so I use other decoys, or no decoys when traveling for the most part....
