Vuly's Flare Large costs about the same as Kahuna's Classic 12ft and comes with three years of cover on the frame, springs and mat, against Kahuna's 12 months on everything. Kahuna's range is cheaper overall, with a 16ft Blizzard for well under $700, and Kahuna publishes a weight rating for each size, which Vuly doesn't for the Flare. Vuly says its trampolines meet AS 4989:2015; Kahuna's pages don't name a standard.
