As you can see from the chart the only significant differences between the Speedhorse and Speedhorse XT are adjustable legs and the price. So is the adjustability worth an extra $20 per pair?
Absolutely!
All four legs of each sawhorse are adjustable in 1-inch increments, giving you a working height of anywhere from 30 inches to 36 inches. As someone who stands 6 feet, 2 inches tall, I appreciate the ability to raise my workspace up a little higher.
Because each leg is independently adjustable, you can also level out your workspace on uneven surfaces. Whether it’s the gradient of an unfinished construction site or just the slope of your driveway, being able to keep your materials on even sawhorses is a big win.
Which One Should I Buy?
Buy the original Bora Speedhorse if you primarily work in your garage, shop, or any space that has reasonably flat ground/floor.
For everyone else, the Speedhorse XT makes the most sense. Being able to keep keep your sawhorses even on top makes the job that much easier, and in some cases, safer. Considering the price difference between the two styles is just $20 for a pair, it’s not a big premium to pay for the extra versatility.
