We have one but I have yet to use it, preferring to w&f myself. I see it as just another machine making noise and using power plus I can fill very quickly and a lot more accurately (from my setup of the machine and subsequent testing, I found a plus and minus on every fill).
However, other employees (who aren't as obsessive compulsive as I am) use it. If you are filling container after container of straight varietal then it might be for you. A pound of french roast takes up a lot of space in a container and if the machine overfills then you'll find it hard to close. You still have to have the containers (foil bags in our case) open and ready to fill same as if you were filling by hand.

If you are a high volume roastery then you may see an advantage by using a w&f machine. Feel free to ask me any questions you have.

BTW, we have a Logical machine with what is probably a 25# hopper.
