Are they worth it?

Bob,
We've had the blumotion in here for an article recently, and actually they're sitting behind me on the floor as I type this.....but I admit that they are a really nice piece of hardware. They work great and the slow closing idea is really pretty nice. It's definitly worth a look. Try to find a place that has some set up on display so you can try it out for yourself.

You may want to try Knots forum if you want more info but I've been using the blu motion for a while now, very cool operation and yes, expensive. Its an option I give the customers but once some see it they want it. The anti-slam pins for doors are cheap and a breeze to install if you set the cabinet up for them. Also you can ride the wooden drawers 3/16" from the cabinet sides instead of the usuall 1/2"+.
Are they worth the expense? On small projects the cost is easy to absorb for the customer and they love showing them off to their friends. Larger projects are for the rich.
