Oh, I forgot that Lezyne pumps are made by magic elves under a tree in the forest. They are WONNNDERFUL. Oh please, give me a break.
I just mean that if you already have an unlimited source of air, why bother taking up space with an inflator and extra cartridges? I can pump up a tire to 8 bar in about 2 minutes or less with that mini-pump. It's a bother for me to carry extra crap because I'm one of "those" people that puts everything in a jersey pocket.
