I did not like Dr. Bertagnoli will only use the Pro-disc which he is vested in and he was more money than what Dr. Bierstedt quoted. Bierstedt uses the M6 and the Mobi-c if needed. I am so glad that I choose Clavel though. It was a hard choice too because we have family in Germany; near Munich, and I lived in Baumholder Germany for three years! For me personally; my three level fusion has not been positive to put it mildly! It can and most likely will lead to more surgery down the road. If it's just cervical; you could even do the trip alone and just take rolling bag; pack light. Barcelona is so easy to get around.
