Dear Dave,

    My two cents:  carpet is easy on the feet, especially if the place is
big!  Carpet muffles sound.  Using carpet tiles works pretty good as you can
switch out worn or damaged areas easily.  We use a combination of carpet and
terrazzo flooring.  The terrazzo is hard, needs lots of maintenance, but
it's beautiful to see, especially in larger areas.  Maybe decide on a
combination?
