    Another good option: Cobra CJIC 350



    Can be had for as little as $80 + shipping on shopping.google.com.

    Advantage over other models: Higher boost power, more traditional (i.e. smaller) footprint than power dome boxes
    Disadvantages: Fewer power ports (only 1 AC, 1 DC), no true battery gauge (only vague LEDs), can't find details on cable gauge/length

    Hmmm, me likey a lot. The main definate advantage to the Cobra unit is that it's only 6.25" thick!!! It would be a lot easier to stow in the VX, as opposed to the much bulkier suitcase size Wagan brand models (perhaps the Cobra unit may even fit under the passenger front seat of the VX). Being able to keep it out of sight would also help keep the car burglars away. The limited power port problem can be easily fixed with a simple 3-way plug adapter for each of the two(2) single power ports. Plus, it's a Cobra and their brand (famous for CB's) has always been high quality and the price is right. This one is worth very serious consideration.

    Doubt that it would fit under the seat, but I'm thinking maybe it would fit inside my Tone box (will measure when I get home and see).
