Has anyone switched to make their own (Sodastream / Soda Maker)? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I'm wondering about your experience with them:

Have they replaced your seltzer/soda buying?
How much do you use your equipment?
Where do you get your CO_2 refilled and how much does it cost?
What flavorings do you use and which are your favorite?
What equipment did you buy and do you recommend it?

I think there's two ways to do it:

1.) Use a regulator and connect to the drinkmate directly. (~$40 on Amazon)

2.) Use a regulator and refill the small tanks yourself (~$40 on Amazon).

In my area (PNW, USA) it seems like it costs around $40 to refill the 5 lb tank.

But thanks so much! It gives me a lot to think about.

This is what I have so I can connect directly; do you happen to know how I can add a regulator to the mix with what I've got? Most regulators have those barbed fittings for the flexible hoses whereas I'm currently using a cga320 fitting straight to the tube.
