In the context of this particular forum I think Scott said it the best already. What I would have to say would just be saying it again.
Though there is one unit I looked at that I wouldn't use under any circumstances. This manufacturer uses a stainless steel spring inside the bellows, immersed in seawater, to provide the pressure for the seal. But it does have a very eyecatching yellow color.
