Based on Martin's review and other posts it seems they're a pia to fill and bleed. Having to mod a $120+ res so it bleeds correctly...fail.

My $40 plexi double bay res literally bleeds 98% of the air in my system within the first couple minutes of start up. Other than the possible benefit of simplifying your loop a bit by incorporating the pump with the res and possibly looks, I just can't see spending $120 on something that offers little else. These may have sounded great on paper but the reality seems to be that they actually complicate things more than actually help. Totally negating the benefit of having a res in the first the place.
^+1 ,40 bucks plexi here..every two years get a new one ,
no cleaning involved
