I'm stuck in a corner here. My wife won't let me spend the cash to get a Dolphin in the pool, so I'm trying to offer a compromise and get a Rover Plus for our inground/vinyl. I'm a bit concerned that I'm going to get it and hate it (since it only cleans the bottom and misses corners).

Should I try to get her to let me spring for a Phantom?

Should I not bother with the Rover Plus at all and get an even cheaper pressure-side cleaner?

I live in Maine, and my pool is a collection point for every bug, leaf, pine needle, and grain of sand in a ten mile radius. I really need an automatic cleaner. Please help.
