Default Is a forced air flash unit worth it

I print only using water based inks, being that i started this as a hobby and only started getting small orders i was using a heat gun, im getting a few more shirts per order every time and decided i need something to cure. space is tight so for now a conveyor is out of the question...being that i use only water based inks, is a forced air flash worth the $1600 price tag, or is a regular ir flash unit good enough for now. has any one used both? the only one ive found is the BBC AIR FLASH, are there any others?

For waterbase air flash is definitely worth the extra. All the major manufacturers have a unit available.
