I'm guessing it is either new or so craptastic that it doesn't even merit mentioning. Has anyone used the Silver Jet or even heard anything about it? I am thinking I am just going to go ahead and get the Smart Jet if no one gives the silver jet a thumbs up. It looks smaller than the smart jet and is quite a bit less expensive, does not seem to have the moisture trap, and just doesn't give me a warm fuzzy after looking at the uber smart jet rig.
Any suggestions or experience?

Thanks for the help

Just my two cents on the compressor. I have a 1 HP 3 gallon unit I got from Sears that I use for T-shirts n such, and it works great. They have em on sale often for about $99. It even comes with an accessory kit (not that ya need any of it for AB) and one of those plastic coil type hoses. I use the hose between the compressor and moisture filter to let the air cool a bit. Works great for me.

Just my 2 cents...
