Well... I suppose I could look at it that way. Honestly. I don't. Two devices have the potential... or maybe one of them doesn't or maybe both of them don't...
The Eclipse EQ should have been the end all be all of all feeders. Occasionally, I still hear a rumor on another forum from a guy who knows a guy who is cousins with a guy who works with a guy who rents a room from a guy who has a computer in his basement where he talks to a guy on the internet who supposedly knows one of the guys who was making the Eclipse EQ and he says the project isn't dead. --- If the Eclipse EQ were ever actually resurrected and fixed, I'd buy it.... but no way on Gods' green earth I'd pre-order.
And, my much beloved and much hated VVPV. My first replacement unit worked like a charm and gave me zero trouble <period> for several months. In fact, I had my VV Woodville for a month and a half before my VVPV broke. When my VVPV returned from repair, it was plagued with the same problems others had with theirs and now it's just a disappointment and a waste of both space and money. If Buzzkill would sort out his manufacturing issues with that device, fix all of the darn charger ports, recess the on/off switch, send it out the door with black AWs in it, and re-design the pump so it isn't a perfume bottle with a tube glued to it, but rather something that will actually work and last long term, I'd be all over that too (even though I still sort of hold a grudge about the one I have).
If delivered in working + durable condition, I would buy and use either of those devices and consider them an upgrade.
Right now - an upgrade doesn't exist. Might there be one that I'd buy some day? That's hard to say. If the bizarre rumor mill is right and the eclipse eq comes back, I will buy it. If Buzzkill ever gets over his spat with ECF and decides to fix the problems and improve the VVPV, I would buy it.
