Is this one any good? I seem to recall this name associated with goodness, but I'm sure if it's the model everyone talks about.

Comments from users of Topek morph pumps have been uniformly positive. Some of us think that they look clunky and ugly.

Personally, I get a flat about once every other year. I carry a Barbieri mini-pump that is one-fourth of the size and weight of the Topeak. I don't mind spending an extra 2 minutes pumping up my tires (once every other year).

I haven't seen a Road morph pump up close so it really depends on how bulky it looks on my bike.

I don't mind that the Road Morph is a little bulkier then a mini pump as it's also far more useful. Having a hose with a built in gauge means you won't be ripping the valve stem & you don't need to carry a gauge. I also like the fold out foot so it functions just like a floor pump. When I don't have an ounce of fat on my body I'll worry about saving a few ounces with a smaller pump.
