I have both the Gold Series and Fusion brush. I love the Gold Series brush, but was very disappointed in the Fusion brush. It has the hard pad which isn't recommended for fragile Yorkie and Maltese coats. It was nothing special and way overpriced. I used it a couple of times and sold it.
My new favorite brush (and I've tried them all!) is the Madan pin brush. It is a well kept secret with the show breeders as they are mostly sold at shows. I ordered one and it is absolutely the best brush I have ever used. It is much more reasonable, too.
The only online store that sells them is Lainee.

I member on the Maltese forum sells them at shows and will sell them to individuals. Cindy only charges $16 for them. That's where I got mine. I have her contact information if anyone wants it.
