Pat,
I hope you are finally feeling chipper. Sorry to hear you were sick.

Please don't get me wrong: I have NOTHING against SWGs. In fact I think they are really cool techology.

But everytime I do the cost-benefit for MEI cannot justify it. That's the essence of what I have said all along. If I had to choose between an SWG and a robotic cleaner (like my BlueDiamond) it's a no-brainer...I hate vacuuming and brushing a hundred times more than I hate schlepping jugs of bleach or Liquid Chlorine. Since the price of both is ROUGHLY equivalent (between $800 and $1500) it's a reasonable comparison.
