Rapid Reel Hose Cart?

I am just wondering if anyone has purchased or had the chance to use one of the Rapid Reel Garden Hose carts/reels. I most likely will be purchasing one soon. I have used one of the rapid reel air hose reels and it was very solid and smooth. I know that Griots sells it for ~$200, only in red or black. I found the following site

It is only $136 and I can get it in Blue. I need something that will last and be able to hold 100ft of the craftsman rubber hose. I have broken 2 other hose carts/holders trying to work with this heavy hose.

Yeah, I know it is expensive. I have read that thread and I have already looked at that cart. It is nice. The reel mechanism doesn't seem that robust from what I remembered. Also it is quite large. I don't need anything that large. But maybe I can convice my wife to let me go to costco tonight and take a look at it again. Hey it is good enough for you, It should be good enough for me.
