Has anyone forked out the extra bucks to balance their wheels with a Hunter Road Froce Ballancer?

My understanding is that if you have an out of round tire, you can minimize the impact by balancing out the flat spot with the high spot in the wheel.

I'd like to hear comments and experience with this different type of ballancing.

Just in case you're not familar:

Just an update here. Went to Kaltire down on the Queensway and had all 4 wheels/tires on wife's Mazda 5 reballanced to solve an annoying road noise with one of the wheels.

The Hunter Road Force machine was able to pick out the wheel with the deffective tire. Hope this helps if you have an annoying thump with your wheels.
