i thought i was going crazy! iknew i responded to this! i responded in the fire hooping tribe!
here's my response copied over here also, so no matter which you read first...
<<<<<<<<<
hey colleen! i have a hooping harmony led and a cosmic fire firehoop, so i'll speak to this some....

hooping harmony led hoops are incredible quality! one of the best quality led hoops out there. these hoops are pricier, but ask any hooping harmony or psi hoop owner and they'll tell you that it's worth every penny! i haven't personally used that trick concepts fire/led hoop, but know what i know about hooping harmony's hoops, i'd bet this isn't nearly as durable/awesome

unless of course you really really want to led and fire hoop at the same time... in which case super hoop makes an led/fire hoop also superhooper.org/superwick.html

i bet the trick concepts hoop is pretty heavy! you mentioned you were interested in one of cosmic fire dance's firehoops, well they're really light! that's what they're known for!

i think the most important thing to consider is, what do you like agbout your favorite regular hoops? if you're going to spend big money on something, you want it to be worthwhile for longer, so get hoops you'll actually use!!! what size regular hoop do you prefer?
>>>>>>>>

i thought of another thing reading this again.... i would get them separately, if you can only get one to begin with i would get a nice led hoop! i'm in new york state too. winters coming up, and an led hoop would get more use immediately. practicing indoors, in clubs/at concerts. my led hoop goes (and can be used) pretty much anywhere!. firehoop, not so much! especially in the winter!
