Interesting.  Price as far as I am concerned is quite reasonable.
Capacity and organics is very good.  I have to read what
percentage of lead  the Teledyne unit takes out.  Taste is excellent,
the water tastes like bottled.  Parasites are removed.  Flow rate varies
greatly between cartridges I notice.  There are some that have great
flow and some that are poor.  That would be one thing I would fault them
on.

Interesting.  Never heard of the Rainsoft in the stores locally.  One
thing that I was very impressed with was the instructions which came
with the IR-10.  Very clear and well written.  Plenty of diagrams and
pictures.  Everything was very clear, no guesswork.  I had the job done
in a little over an hour.
