Anyone use either the Oneida Portable or the JDS 2hp Cyclone?

I am looking for a cyclone that will fit under my 90" ceiling and handle a
single machine connected through a 4" hose.
Oneida recommends their portable; they say that when choked by the 4" hose
it will work just as well as the larger units. It is $1100. I like the
small foot print, as my shop is very small, but think it is a bit pricy for
the limited capacity. (and I have to drive 60 miles to pick it up at the
factory to save the freight...)
JDS recommends their 2hp for $950. It is both cheaper than the Oneida and
more powerful, but takes up significantly more space.

Anything good or bad to say about either unit? The sale prices end this
week, so I have to make a decision fast.

He does address this on the FAQ page.

It doens't include the two filters, trash can, or electrical switch or
relay. I recommend taking a look through the installation
instructions.

Why not ClearVue's Mini CV1400 Cyclone:
http://www.clearvuecyclones.com/Order_Page.htm

$945 + ~$90 for filter and includes shipping. 800 CFM through 4" pipe,
1100 through 6".

I am glad you brought it up; I didn't want to muddy the water with too many
choices.
I read about the Clearvue, and am a bit concerned with all the parts put
together there was lots of places for air leaks, a 5hp motor is pretty heavy
to be hanging from my wall, and I am not sold on the idea of plastic.
Any thoughts on that would be appreciated.

Also, does the $945 cover EVERYTHING other than the filters? Do you use one
filter or two? Nether of those is clear from their description.
