We purchased the machine last year, primarily because we already have on hand 
numerous high voltage power suplies.  Since we wouldn't be using it as the 
sole
method for transforming cells, it seemed to be the most economical approach 
for
use.
The Invitrogen machine could be used 
successfully with the machine, so that a powersupply is not dedicated for a 
single function.  We have used it for bacteria and yeast.  We haven't yet 
tried it with mammalian cells.
