ive been looking at grit blasters but not sure which one to go for.
usually the things i need blasting are quite small so some thing like a small cabinet would be great.
but then there are times that being able to blast large objects or areas like chassis parts and what not would be easier than grinding or sanding, so a pressurised blaster that you can use outdoors seems a better idea. but then if ive got some thing that big i might as well take it to a shot blasters and pay them to do it and save the mess.
heres the two im looking at.

Re: grit blaster
Think the CPSB100 is your best bet, much more versatile. You can always make a small cabinet to contain the mess for smaller bits. One of those cheapo metal garden tool sheds or something.

Re: grit blaster
Do you have a compressor already? If not, add £200 to your budget if buying the first one.
