I think hardshells are using these pumps more  often than folders. I watched
a discussion of these pumps a while ago (here or at Guillemot, not sure),
then decided that don't need it so far.  With a hardshell there is little
need, at least for my uses, and with a folder installation details weren't
clear (fixed to the bacrest rib, perhaps).  Their capacity is much, much
higher than hand pumps, only you'll have to recharge a battery after every
1-2 uses. Australians have this or similar pump as a standard in some
hardshell model.
