Any experience with the Rouge Chopper oil scavenging system?

Boiled Down:
1. It's a silly waste of money
2. It gets somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 ounces of "old" oil to drain out
Figure out which one of the above applies to you and proceed accordingly.
For the record, I own one and it does what it claims to do.
I was also foolish to spend what I did on my J&S Jack, according to some.
Not sure why anyone would care how someone else spends their money.

No set routine but every few changes after filling the oil tank with fresh oil I disconnect the return line at the tank and attach a hose to it and run the hose into the oil drain pan. Hit the starter a few times until clean oil is in the hose. Reconnect the return line and top off the oil tank. Not real difficult on a softail but I like the idea of that attachment.

Its been discussed in a trillion threads on HDForums.

And that doesn't even include the threads where the product name is misspelled.
The bottom line is this - millions of bikes out there doing just fine without it. While it is an intellectually pleasing concept, from a practical perspective it really adds little value.

Thank everyone who took the time to respond. Especially those who actually have experience with the Rogue, also to the spelling police for pointing out my dyslexic moment and to the ones who believe that since it's been done this way since HD's inception why consider any change.
I have yet to purchase one and want to offer a final thanks to keithhu for providing the link to other threads, one of which had an argument that has me leaning away from purchasing one. The argument? I'm not likely to keep this bike to the 100k mark anyway, why should I care beyond that?
For anyone who may find this in the future, dispite my misspelling, I never found any indication, here or elsewhere, that the product did not preform exactly as advertised and the people who use it seem to like it and the results.

Neither of which has anything to do with whether it is beneficial.
