Centramatic Wheel Balancers

Any of y'all ever use them? Seem like a good idea, but I wanted some feedback from some who have actually used them. I did a search for them on here first, so if there was a thread somewhere, please just point me in the right direction.

I think for my application I can get the tires balanced close enough to maintain good wear characteristics.
I also don't like the idea of the schoop-schoop sound they seem to make.....that would seriously annoy me.

If you want to run spacers on your wheels I think they would be worth it. I don't want to use spacers, my wheels stick out alot already. The equal stuff sounds like it would be better for me.

I have heard the equal stuff clumps when its really humid or it gets wet. I've read everything from using BB's and a water/antifreeze mix in the tires to GOLF BALLS in the tires.
