Personally I love thunderbolts but it would take up to much space and a banshee won't take up much space. It also something we don't see here often.
Yeah, to be honest, a Banshee would be cheaper and smaller... And all the Banshees they have at WSS are the 9/12 port variety, which is cool. A Thunderbolt would be nice, but I'd have to just get the chopper motor in order for it to fit into my Grandpa's car :/.

I heard Single Phase Banshees are hard to run because they have caps.

They do have caps, yes, like many single phase sirens. If I do end up going to WSS and end up getting a banshee, much less single phase... There's a very good chance the capacitors are blown or busted. However, there are many capacitors on the market today that can replace old ones on sirens. If all else fails, I can just use a big Variac. XD
