MLT Systems (Tile Leveling System)
I guess you can see the little birdie got out of its cage.
he should be flying to your area soon. I hope I get my box tomorrow 
there is a lot this new leveling system has to offer and we can start
the discussion now.
as John Bridge said, "it will change the game".

I said that? 
You sure you got them pointin' the right direction, Brian?
I guess since the birdie is out, I can point out that the only part of that system that is not reusable is the little foot thingee that remains under the tiles when you're finished. The caps and the straps are reusable. Saves more dinero and allows for several different styles of foot thingee for different kinds of tile.
I just wish the little birdie would come by and remind me what the less technical name for the little foot thingees is.

Other than the strap being reusable, what's the difference between this and TLS? Also, who makes this, and where?

Actually should be called Tile Flattening System. Ain't gonna level your tiles unless your subfloor happens to be level, eh?

Brian , are the towers putting presure gradually , from the edges towards the center , depending on the fragility and solidity of the material -- tile ,stone , glass , etc.. -- ?

the straps attach to the bottom plate and you break it off the next day once the tile has set. so the straps and caps are reusable.

that I dont know, maybe someone can elaborate. I do know the caps have a soft spacer to put at the bottom to protect soft natural stones from possible scratching. *as you can see at the bottom of the yellow cap.

Pretty cool! Looks like it will have the least amount of waste of any system. Hopefully that will reflect on the price.
