Air Shammie or Blasto-Dry Nozzles

I am in the process of building my own blow dryers for my self serve bays. Which nozzle would be best to use, the air shammie or blasto-dry? I read where most air shammie users prefer the fan tips on their guns, is this still the general consensus? I see kleen rite sells the air shammie guns for $94 and the fan tips are an extra $42. I am not sure what the blasto-dry guns sell for?
 
You cannot buy the Blastodry guns unless you buy the whole thing. But I have tried them and found them awkward to use.

I prefer the air-shammee with the fan tip. However, they told me in Vegas that they are designing a new gun.
 
You can buy the air shammie motors from kleen rite. Theres not a lot to it. Three vac motors connected to a hose and a contactor to turn them on along with a boom and nozzle. I am not going to use a bypass or a trigger to turn the air on and off. I read on the forum where some people were doing away with the bypass valves and triggers so I figured I would simplify my setup and just leave them off.
 
I don't know if you can buy the nozzle separately, but I have installed the air shammee and the Carolina Pride turbo dry and prefer the Carolina Pride nozzle. Moulded rubber which the claim to be "indestructible". I do feel like I could drive my vehicle over it and not break it, a feeling I do not get with the air shammee. There is also no trigger to pull and thus no need for a relief valve.
