Vinyl static ionizers who's used them?

There are 2 that I know of the DS Audio ION-001 Vinyl ionizer or the CS Port Static Eliminator IME1. Are they worth the asking price?

I don't remember the exact numbers. 3) I find that every time I play an lp, the static goes up. Perhaps it has something to do with the belt drive on the VPI? I just want to eliminate it.
