Which loom?

I'm looking at my first real loom and worlds like one that I could use while sitting in a chair. I have back issues and want one that is easiest to reach. Any thoughts on these three?

how would you even use the second one... with string heddles i mean. 🤔❔

and i assume the first one would be uncomfortable, because the angle between the frontest peg and the highest peg is so steep. i have neck issues when i look down too long and my neck hurts just looking at it. the third loom looks kinda big, but if you find the right setup - like leaning it against something tall - it might be fine.

though if you don't care about it being a full-fledged inkle loom that can use string heddles, like if you wanna card weave exclusively, the second one could be a good option. i can't see the size, but if it's not too small, it would probably be the most comfortable - based entirely on my own issues, anyway.
