Wow. That is pretty damn near perfect visual clone of the Fx5. I guarantee it doesn't work nearly as well.

Just read that and you will hear everything you need to know. There is alot of good feedback about them among other sites and even this one. There is a small issue with them and the O-Ring, but that is easily fixed in that link above he explains it all.

I read rquite a few reviews here at MFK for the CFS500 and it did not impress me so I would never get one of these. Just my 2 cents.
