These were some of the reasons I decided to get the Road Drive. It's a pretty sleek design and is the same color as the primary color of my bike so it shouldn't be terribly noticeable or be an eyesore and it pumps up to 160 psi so I figured getting to 100-120 psi should be easier.
Many people mentioned the Pressure Drive which is very similar but tops out at 120 psi so getting near there would prove harder I imagine.

I don't do it because I bought the super sexy topeak race rocket hpc

LOL!!
Speaking of mini's vs CO2, if the OP is sold on CO2 then why not consider a hybrid pump? this is a mini pump combined with a CO2 inflator. This way if by some odd chance you use up all your CO2 carts on a ride you still have a pump to fall back on. The best ones that I know of are the Topeak HybridRocket HP, and the Lezyne Pressure Drive CFH, though of the two I think the Topeak is the better one and it runs about $50, but at least you would never be left without air.
Just a thought

Edit: Just looked up the Topeak HybridRocket HP which does go up to 160. Didn't think to check for a Topeak version of a hybrid once I ruled out the Lezyne. Although to me the Topeak looks quite short.

Thanks for the info loimpact but I already purchased a mini pump (Lezyne Road Drive) and a CO2 inflator too.

So then you post remarks like you do to make yourself seem superior when it fact your not because you don't know how to treat your wife.
Tell you what, lets here from the women here, do they want their husbands to call the everytime they have a flat to come get them or would they prefer to have their husbands take care of the situation the best they can without calling them?

I looked into getting this but decided to go with a separate pump and inflator. I can't really give a huge reason just felt like going with separate ones. Part of it was that the Lezyne one at least tops out at 120 so as I mentioned in an earlier post, getting that high might be more difficult. Some of it honestly was that I wanted a black pump that went with my bike better too.
Edit: Just looked up the Topeak HybridRocket HP which does go up to 160. Didn't think to check for a Topeak version of a hybrid once I ruled out the Lezyne. Although to me the Topeak looks quite short.

Chauvinistic post? Do you not know what that word means? It means: "an attitude of superiority toward members of the opposite sex:. No where did I say I was superior to my wife, in fact I will not treat her like my mother or like a slave, she is my equal and my job has a husband is to prevent her from doing anything unnecessary that I can't handle myself. In fact when you call your wife every time you have a flat to come rescue you you are the one that is being chauvinistic because you don't view her as an equal nor feel like you should bother trying to fix something yourself before you bother her, you view her as your mommy figure to come get her little boy. Yeah, I know that sounds rough but it is what it is.
So then you post remarks like you do to make yourself seem superior when it fact your not because you don't know how to treat your wife.

I have never called my wife to come give me a ride due to flats, but I have called her to pick me up two times in about 27 years of knowing her and marriage to come and get me due to accidents and resulting injury. And the last time was five weeks ago when I had an accident. She even insisted I go to the emergency room in the wee hours of the morning when I could not sleep despite icing my knee and hip all day from my accident. I protested, insisting I'll crawl to the emergency room, but she'll have none of it.

So, it is whoever's personal business if they'll call their wife to pick them up if they have a hang-nail. I do not stick my nose into whatever husbands ask their wives to do, and neither should you.
