Blasting Cabinet Metering Valve

For those of you who've made the metering valve modification to your home blasting cabinets, how much better does it make it work? I think I may do it to mine. It works ok, but I think it could be better and if this will help it I may do it. Looks cheap enough.

I bought this one off Ebay.

I think it does help with the delivery of blasting media. My issue is that the slope on the floor of my blaster is shallow, so the media doesn't funnel very well into the bottom hole.

But, I would say it does help. Just be prepared to make some mods to your blast cabinet.
