They have the Ecoplus on sale right now, but you can always buy it Boxing Day
I've seen those, they look nice, but I'd have to hook myself to afford that. Sadly I'd make no money, lol.

Good to know... thanks daplatapus, and gregzz4 for all the info! It was suggested to me, by an 'expert', that I should be using a 1/4hp minimum.
That being said, I always thought I could get away with a 1/10. Glad to have my conceptions corrected on this forum!
