Advice on media blasters...which one?, Let's go shopping... Options

[computers4kids]

I'm looking at a variety of media blasters at Harbor Freight and could use any insights/experience to lead me to the best purchase for my needs (below).

A:
I have come to a point in my project that I have the underside of both trunk lids and the door jambs that need to be prepped for paint. A real crappy paint job was sprayed on at one time. (rest of car has been stripped, reworked, sealed)

B:
Lots of little parts that I would like to bead blast and paint/powdercoat before the car goes back together.

C:
Picked-up a set of 2ltr alloys that I would like to bead blast the backsides to clean-up before I polish them. Not to sure if I should bead blast the front before polishing. I'm not going to send them out. Last set I wet sanded and polished the hard way, but they turned out real nice. Not sure if bead blasting would help or make more work for me.

Here are the choices I have and current prices at HF..some on sale.
What do you think?

Blaster Gun 16 sale (19.99)...would take alot of refilling but price is right?
35 gallon with vacumm 249 (not on sale)
40 pressurized 79 sale (129)
110 pressurized 119 sale (199)
cabinet 69 sale (87)...not sure if you can connect a hose for bigger stuff?
gravity feed (top load) unit 119 sale (139)

As far as the cabinet goes the hose isn't the problem it is the internal space. Most if not all cabinets under about 1500.00 won't EFFECTIVELY hold a wheel. Yes you might be able to fit it in there but you won't be able to manouver it around to get it all blasted
