hey tiger, i'm considering buying an xl 1000 or possibly an xl 2000. since you are a user, what can you tell me about it? have you used manual pumps before, if so what it the difference? have you used the 1000? if so, why is the 2000 an improvement?
i've been wanting to get some 'unsolicited' testimonial. i read about the ctc xl line in a gary griffin book, but, while his books are enjoyable, i don't quite trust him. he comes off like a big money-grubber. and i don't want to take ctc's website strictly at its word.
so what do you think? i've been pumping for something like nine months, possibly a bit more, have experienced gains (from 7 1/4 to 7 1/2, not a real huge difference, but certainly psychologically pleasing) but am wondering if these pumps really are so much better. if so, i definitely want one! if not, i'd appreciate the advice, so i don't waste nearly four hundred dollars on one.
thanks bro
