Tempted but not sure worth the money?

Visibledust Arctic Butterfly for $140.  Anyone have this and confirm it's worth the money?  It seems to be much higher in price than others, so I'm wondering is it really worth the cash?

Not to me. I have one and it NEVER gets my sensor clean, and I always have to wet clean.....:(

Why so serious?

+1 It will get loose dust and such, but not anything actually clinging to the filter surface. I think you can find it cheaper. I think I paid $90 for it.

I'm too scared to touch my sensor, so definitely for me.  I just bring mine to the shop to get cleaned every 6 months

I have to google what it is for...not for me, I have a sensor cleaner built in my camera.

(P.S. I am more interested in how Patrick Harness created his cute avatar...:P )

I got one of these:

Seems to work pretty well, but I mostly get junk on the mirror or glass above the mirror.
