I've finally gotten a way to get my hands on an LED and I couldn't be more stoked. But due to the money, I'm having a mini-nervous-breakdown trying to figure out the size. Right now I generally hoop with a 36, though I'm getting comfortable with a 34.
Should I get a 33 moodhoop? I love my 36's but I feel as though they're getting a little big and I'm starting to really advance. I want this hoop to satisfy me (dimensionally) for a long time so I think I should just bite the bullet and get 33. What do you guys think? Is that jumping the gun?

Personally I would go with the 33, if you are already feeling on the cusp of your 36's as being too big and bulky. Even if it takes a little more effort and practice to feel comfortable with it, if you aren't looking to purchase another LED in the next half a year, I'd say go for it. Keep in mind as well that LEDs are heavier than regular hoops, even if it's polypro or thinner tubing. The lights make for some extra weight, and if you get 36 in that, it'll feel fairly cumbersome, especially if you are already experimenting and on the verge of being comfortable with 34. And in saying that, the 33 with the bit heavier weight will slow the rotation down as well, making it "feel" more similar to the 34 you're already playing with. Definitely will serve you better in the long run if you are feeling this way!

Totally second this. :)
