Understood - but my point was that the discs in the USA are not the latest generation... It seems each disc has its pros and cons.
But personally I would not want a ProDisc... Because of the overall design, as well as the end plate material. (Cobalt-chrome is not as inert in your body as titanium from what I've read)
