The LSV is cheaper than the logs, has better taste and an unmatched airflow, imo. For what this guy is looking for, I don't see a better option. If you've already got glass and just want to wait until the Cloud base unit releases on its own, I could see that making sense, but I don't know what the cost will be for it. I just turn my LSV on early in the afternoon, hang it on the wall and it is ready to go all day until I crash. Two nights ago I forgot about it and left it on all night...no problems. I'll say this for the LSV, it seems ot extract most of what I want in two to three pulls, no matter how much I put in. Makes for great quick sessions that are pounding me...also has the potential to go crazy with my tolerance. I'll need to be more disciplined about how much I put in there because the big bowls are so much fun!
