Timba or Isla conga?

[Quas]

Hi everyone

Im about to buy a new setup and I have a hard time deciding between these two brands. So I would be glad to have your opinions on these two brands and the quaity of the drums.
Im playing a pair of Timba bongos at the moment and i LOVE them, so Timba is my choice atm. But I have heard many good things aboit Isla and they are a little bit cheaper.

Quas,welcome,look thru the forum,there are some topics on Timba Percussion so you can make your own judgement. The Conguero in my Band bought a new set of Remo Jimmy Morales model Congas,12.5" and 13". The sound projection is very loud, deep and strong ,they came with the new tucket fyberskin so you do not have to invest on a good set of skin to replace the factory ones. The shell material is made of a composite of wood and resin and about 5/8" thick or more,very strong.The shell thickness is twice as thick from the lug attachment to the top making the shell very,very strong. You can take a look of them on the web at lidrum.com or at Long Island Drum Center.The cost on that web page is 308.95 for the 12.5" and 320.95 for the 13".
