everyone complains about maintenance with 'dros but it's like noone understands that if you take your time and make sure everything is perfectly placed and such (just as you would with a bag job) then nothing is going to go wrong.
the AON guys don't put 'dros in their 40k+ infinities and such for no reason. everything is well thought out and done cleanly. expensive is another myth IMO. a quality air setup (new) is like 1500-2k and you can run dros for that or less as well. you don't need 12 batteries and street chargers. you can run a 24 volt setup on 4 batteries and even a 12 volt battery off less, it's just slower with less voltage.
they'll be on my next build.

they're about the same price as bags...and they make cool noises!
just like with anything, if you half ass the setup, you're gonna have problems. if you take your time, you won't have anything to worry about
