I have a QTP cut out. got it from its site, and yeah it isnt cheap. I would have just got a reg. cut out w/ no motor. If you plan on opening and closing it all the time, then yeah its worth the money. But if you plan on leaving it open, just get one for 30 bucks. I leave mine open all the time. It just all depends on if you are planning on openning and closing it alot. Also, I've had my QTP for about a year and the motor seems to be slowly dying.

i have a manual qtp cut out...i dont mind having to open/close it my self.... stays open most of the time any how....but you can always buy the electric motor later if you get tired of doing it your self..or if you open/close it all the time like stated above.
