So far I cannot convince myself I need one of these. Convince me of its value.

I would try to convince you if I had one.
Every time I think I should get one I don't.
Other than the cost, which is part of the decision matrix, I haven't had a reason to get a ProshotII.
I end up using my turbine gun and PPS.
In short, I have not had an important and urgent problem that I think I need this tool to solve.

I bought the TrueCoat Pro II Electric on a similar rebate program last fall.  I was surprised at how much material it moves in so short a period of time.  I had to drop from the stock XWD515 to the NAR515 and ultimately to the NAR311 spray tip to slow down the delivery, and even at that, it will blow through a quart of material unbelievably quickly.  Using it on the components of a built-in bookcase was an eye-opener.  Looks like there's an HVLP rig in my future...

Willy:
Not sure you are aware, but the Pro Shot II is a different machine than the TrueCoat Pro II.
While Scott will correct me, I believe the biggest difference and one that is important for spraying lighter viscosity material is that the ProShotII has a variable pressure adjustment, where the TrueCoat Pro II does not.

Understood that they're different machines, Tim.  The TrueCoat Pro II Electric does have the pressure adjustment like the ProShot II.  I was just saying that I was anticipating a slower rate of material delivery when I bought it, having had no exposure to airless sprayers previously.  For some applications it will do fine, especially with the backpack gallon-capacity rig.  I was just astonished by how much material it moved and how quickly it did it.  In contrast, my only prior experience was with an Earlex HVLP setup at a Woodcraft locally.  Quite a difference there.
