It's a good setup. As I was graduating my equipment the Nautilus mini is what I got and loved it. It helped me start to really appreciate the flavors of my juices. But, I thought it was just a bit underpowered. I bumped up my battery to an IPV mini and the Nautilus really started to shine around 13 watts. I run it on an iStick 50 now at 13.5 watts and it runs like a top. In short, the MVP2 is great on battery life, but I find it just a bit underpowered at 11 watts max. The Nautilus still shines after 10 months of use.
