Thinking about buying some boxes. Would like to hear from guys who have used power assist and regular. Pros and cons please. Thanks! love the forum guys!

2 questions... 1. Do you prefer the power assist boxes over a normal box? And 2. Which do you guys think is a better trade-off, less pushing, or less trips to the pump? My set now is columbia (normal size), was thinking of Tapetech next and then from there making all future decisions.
