Fixed or floating pallet forks?

[SBMF 2015]

I'm getting ready to order a set of pallet forks for my loader tractor. I 've been around floating forks before,but never used fixed ones. The salesman said he prefers fixed. There is $90 difference between the two. I only plan on buying one set of forks for the life of this tractor so the difference in price doesn't matter to me.
What had been everyone's experience?

I have used both, I prefer fixed on my tractor that has self leveling FEL. On the others didn't really matter.

Fixed all-day long.

Mine floats as I really don't see any advantage. I would get the fixed.

Floating forks hang level any time your tilted level or down from level.
Great for getting in a pallet on level ground., But uses pallet forks for picking up pallets. LoL.
Try getting under something laying on the ground where you need to skim into the ground a little. Or pick up a piece of equipment where you need to go through the frame in some form or fashion. Much better with fixed forks. Lots of other examples.

Fixed. Floaters suck IMO.
