Phoenix has several different models. I was remembering V90 but I think what I actually have is the V12 which was about $175. They have commercial units going up to about $400.

I think the main theory of the Phoenix system is that by bleeding from a low point to the high point (master reservoir) air is being forced generall upward by the path of it's least resistance. Otherwise, I don't think there is a lot of difference between the Motive and Phoenix system - other than pressurizing the little Girling cans doesn't seem like a good idea to anyone.
