I guess everyone has different needs ours is affordability probably under 100 dollars and it doesn't need all the bells and whistles offered on the high end product. I'm not sure if there are others that would like to save money, but if there are... perhaps there is a dialed down version... that might not offer as much force, but could be made with cheaper parts for a cheaper price. I plan on having some solution in the near future on a side project I'm working on.
