Aranon,

That debate has been endless on this forum and will continue to be so. The sand owners like sand and the cartridge owners like cartridge. Even the ones who have owned both don't seem to have a definitive opinion.

It's not quite Ford vs. Chevy, but it's close.

Okay, Okay, I own sand and I like it best....a cartridge owner will be along soon to sing the praises of cartridges, then a DE guy will chime in on why his is best.

Here is some good advice....whichever one you buy, get it bigger than you think you'll need......everything in your system will function better.
