The 5df chair and mmu arent bad they give you the feel of weightlessness anyway to some degree because you do float above the floor. The 5df is more like free floating where the mmu also floats and you can control its movements.

Well those sims would have to beat sitting around and laying cards for over an hour sometimes like my team did frequently.

I think the reason ASA only uses the 1/6th chair and mat is because eeryone seems to like them.
