Default Anybody have a wind generator?

I'm toying with the idea of a small wind generator for the house. It would be more novilty than anything, but I might power the ham shack or some of the lighting circuits with it. I'm looking at an Air-X (400watt) and an Air-Breeze (200watt). They are about $600 and seem to be quality units. It would take years to recoup the cost but these thing have always interested me.

Does anyone have an AIR-X and are you happy with it? The AIR-BREEZE is by the same company and is brand new. It starts at a slightly lower wind speed than the Air-X. I'm in a zone 2 wind area. I've got spare push-up towers, and lots of acres, so that part is already available.

Please comment if you have any knowledge of small wind systems.
