Question which uni is a better choice?

hey everyone!
i am looking at three different unicycles and am needing help to decide on which is the better of the three.
one is the Nimbus 20-inch Trials Cycle with ISIS hub with the Kris Holm ISIS 137mm crank upgrade
another is a Torker Unistar DX 24-inch
and maybe the Nimbus 24-inch MUni Cycle with KH ISIS

I'm mainly leaning towards the Nimbus 20-inch Trials Cycle with ISIS hub with the Kris Holm ISIS 137mm crank upgrade
I am about 6ft. and 153 lbs i want to use the uni for tricking and possibly riding to and from class, but mostly to trick.
thanks for your help!
Bryce

Yup get the nimbus trials with upgrade. And bikeisland raised the price of the KH it used to be 350 then 380 and now its 399 so it would be about $60 more if you wanted a KH
