I'm not a fan of CO2 cartridges myself. I've run into a number of folks who expended all their cartridges with multiple flats or pinching the tube while putting the tire back on. My Zefal HPx always has more air and I'm not concerned with saving a few ounces. It always inflates a tire quickly and easily. If I offer it to someone else to use, I've never had them refuse it. Most of the time we part company with them saying they need to get one for themselves.

That's all a matter of personal preference, of course.
