Turfmaker - Considering a purchase, feedback on hydroseeders please

I'm considering buying a hydroseeder, having never done it before. But I believe it would solve some of our seeding problems (see my thread related to straw problems).

After researching a bit on jet agitation (Easy Lawn, Turbo Turf) and talking with the folks at Turfmaker I think I'm leaning towards a mechanical agitation machine.

I'm interested to get any feedback from those that do hydroseed. Is the use of wood mulch and therefore mechanical agitation preferred? Any regrets buying the machine you have now? What would you buy differently in the future? What features have been helpful?

One feature that I like on the Turfmaker is the ability to run clear water through the hose to clear it out drawing from a clean water tank (additional ag or bladder type tank not included). The addition of a second water tank allows you to carry more water without having to buy a bigger machine and load the unit quickly with a 2.0" fill hose connected from the water tank.

Thanks for your feedback.
