Zerostat: Old is Gold?

I was recently in the market for a Zerostat gun.  I looked online and saw that they had moved their production from England to China.  Of course, without any reduction in price.  As I try to avoid Chinese manufacture as much as I can,  I thought I would buy a used one on ebay.  I bid on a few auctions but was surprised to see them selling for around $50 for one in decent (but hardly new) condition.  The new blue Zerostats from China are $80 and up. 

Are the old Zerostats in some way superior to the newer Chinese made that would justify the (IMO) relatively high prices being realized for the original guns?

Hi,

As winter is here, and the air is crazy dry, static is causing me much grief. Using the Milty seems to help, but the RCM (Okki Nokki) is adding unwanted static on top of a carpeted room. Humidifier is running 24/7 - with some benefit.

I've been looking at one of these. Thought it might help dry records after RCM as well as remove static. 

Has anyone used one?

Thanks.

I'm sure it could get "dramatic" if one of the units failed...

One would think it could work?

The nice part is it should be able to do multiple records at the same time.

Clean - Dry - Remove Static and into Mofi sleeves.

When/of I get around to ordering one of the fans, I'll pass the findings along.
