I guess Marvin and I do play a little rough at times, but I'd like to take Jean's "scolding" as a good opportunity to make it clear that I do value Marvin's comments and input. He is a working professional and an all-around "class act".
Of all the high-end easel offerings, the Hughes is worthy of being in the "prestige" tier. The big difference in its counter-balanced lift system is that the cables are steel, and never "free" so long as the tray is compensated by loading the counter-balance. Like raising an old-fashioned double-sash window, the movement should require minimal effort so long as it's properly set up. And . . . the Hughes indeed is complex enough (patented, yet!) to be beyond the range of what amateur wood-workers can manage.
Jean, you do inspire, as one who keeps "at it" in the face of adversities that would have most dissolving in self-pity and simply giving up on everything. Let's hear it for the Norwegians!
