Well ya saw the one (koplin Eliminator)I have and I think of it as a big cadillac of blinds. The only con I see is that it does not fold well for trasport. I just put it over the top of all my decoys so its no problem for me. A plus is the rubberized bottom helps keep the posterier a lil dryer.

Volkswagon or Cadillac both will get you where you need to go.Nothing wrong with home made. Heck Bond and my self were making silos last nite- There comes a certain satisfaction from handmaid

The SUB is probably the best blind in terms of price/features. I have been using a FA ProGuide and X-lander for the past couple of years. This past year I hunted outta a SUBon two occasions and I liked it better then either of mine due to the fact that it is roomy similar to the ProGuide but folds flat similar to the Xlander all for $200CDN (almost 1/2 what I paid for either the PGorXL).
