hi yes no prob mate,u are second person to ask today to look at me setup wife getting bit worried lol as for diffrent portys ive seen the eclipse not bad machine but the recoil i havnt, biggest draw back was they offer no heat options because of thier tripple vacs , weres the ninja comes with dual heating which works very well best heat ive ever seen on a porty but the vacs are still man enough to do 100ft and its very rare thats not long enough on domestic jobs ,it was allso cheaper than a ecplise with no heat, and i thought the ninja looked better built imo ,also before i brought i knew that ashbys were making a add on 3 stage vac which will giv u 3x3stage vacs weres the others only had 3x2stage vacs, the add on one is also a bigger 3stage vac as well so if u need the extra suck i think it will be very good, also the ninja is smaller than the eclipse which in my case was a plus as with a water tank and auto fill, tank size on machine didnt matter and gav me more room in van
gary
