Yeah, while I do like my little Griot's *pneumatic* RO, that's just me and their electric one disappointed me. I do like the little units because I do almost all spot-correction, but IMO most people simply don't need one. I'd buy the Rupes if I were shopping today, but generally I think you oughta save your money. The whole idea of needing one for "tight spots" and "thin areas like "A" pillars" is, IMO, mostly a marketing ploy.
