I know we've touched on this sand blasting subject before but don't recall if there was a consensus. I think I'm going to get a relatively inexpensive --but not cheap-- unit and have to make a choice. Believe both grit and soda have been done commercially & satisfactorily on various posters cars.

Several here have or already had grit units at home but don't recall if any have bought soda. Grit has more abrasives options but I also like the clean up aspect of soda since I won't have a cabinet. If those with experience think soda is a waste of money, would appreciate if someone could give the pros/cons. Would even appreciate a brand of either type if there is one you like. Use would be the typical paint and rust removal on parts -- no large sheetmetal items though.

The web seems to be of mixed opinion on the two medias. Strong opinion even extends to supposedly identical units made by the same mfg but sold under different names. Amazon or other web reviews don't seem to be much help on this one.
