Brake Bleed tool suggestion ... Motive vs. MityVac ????

...I posted this on Team Camaro, ...but thought to ask here as well.
Considering Brake Bleed tools, ...what is everyone else using? (if you know the model # of what you are using, ...please post)
... I'm looking at two units right now:
A Motive Kit#0250
http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=mvp-0250
...and a Mityvac Silverline Plus #04050.
http://www.tooltopia.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=8309
...I've found better prices other than the links above, ...so the price is within $8 between the two ($70-$80).
I never heard of the Motive before, ...but I am sided towards it since it seems a bit easier to use.
...comments? ...other suggestions?
Thanks,
Kevin

No-brainer - the Motive Products pressure bleeder is the best sixty bucks you'll ever spend; I've fought bleeding stubborn Corvette 4-piston disc brakes for years, and the MP pressure bleeder makes them a piece of cake and a one-person ten-minute job. I've tried all the other stuff (MityVac, Phoenix Injector, etc.) and none of them hold a candle to the MP setup.

Low-tech guy here--I lay a cinderblock on the brake pedal and pump it up between cylinder bleeds (chuckle).

Jimmy,
The best price I found, and where I purchased mine was on Ebay as a Buy It Now.
(using Google's "Froogle" search, ...there are a couple places that are close, ...but tax and shipping add up)
Here's a link...
