Eventually, and I don't think it will be that long I will have outgrown the trolley but it was a stage I had to go through to get started on WFP

I use both. The trolley doesn't get used much these days. My trolley battery has been in the trolley for about 3 months without recharge. That's an indicator of how little I use it. I do carry a spare battery around with me though.

Ditto ;)
Van mount for me now, but my situ was identical to Vince's, once I started to make enough money I bought a brand new van (ok...lease purchased :-\) and upgraded to a van mount.
I've not used my trolley for so long now that I honestly cannot remember when I did ::)
I know of one couple (husband and wife team) who have a van mount but almost always use their 2 Omnitrolleys, they do mostly domestic and whack out really good money between them.
I think a lot of it comes down to how you organise things.
A trolley working out the back of a car is hard work, but out the back of a well set up van its a doddle.

But for 95% of my work its got to be the van system.
