I'm oogling the new CT-SYS and trying to decide if I'll prefer dragging my Midi around for the extra 27cfm or if the SYS version will actually be enough. My gut says it'll do well for the cleanup activities, domino, and other light tasks but the messier stuff (55, jigsaw, Kapex) will all still need the Midi bare minimum. What do you guys think?
CT-SYS - 103cfm enough?

I think the CT-SYS at 106 would be fine in general. Kapex being the biggest exception. Kapex needs all it can get (D36 hose in all cases though). But the CT-SYS would still be OK in a pinch. I had the earlier CT Mini at 99cfm. It was alright on the Kapex, but more is better. For the track saws the CT-SYS should do fine. The saws throw most of the dust into the port with no vac. And the cordless TSC55 gets most of it into the bag. Again more is better but I don't think the CT-SYS would be terribly lacking on the track saws. The routers benefit from more air flow and stronger suction as well and the D36 hose. All the other tools (barring Planex) should be good to go with the CT-SYS.
I don't think I would use it for my primary vac, but it should be a great addition for many tasks and situations.

The TS 55 would definitely be fine with the CT-SYS. Just used the 55 yesterday to cut some sheet stock and didn't want to haul out a CT, so I used the dust bag on the saw instead and it collected 95%+ just using the bag.
