Dear Thackeray,

    As a dedicated porcelain media user ( 25 years ) I would point out a
    couple of other advantages for using same. First it may be said that
    you don't have to spend much time cleaning the media......I clean
    mine once every week or ten days. Second, porcelain media lasts
    forever.....I get about ten years use out of a typical batch. Third,
    it isn't necessary to use expensive solutions....ordinary liquid
    detergent will do nicely. Fourth, a cheap under one hundred dollar
    vibratory will serve you well and last years. 

    Yes....porcelain media have to be broken in. Have you at Rio ever
    considered processing prepared media ?......you would sell more of
    it in the long run once people discovered the advantages. Too many
    people get turned off by the prepping aspect of it. As a matter of
    fact, I don't ever recall having seen even a rudimentary protocol
    accompanying the raw media.
