They are not as quick to spool up and deliver oooomph as a positive displacement blower.
Against that, they don't have a ceiling like a PD blower. A PD blower runs out of puff beyond certain revs and can only deliver certain amounts of boost. The faster you can spin this type, the more it will pump.
I like the Rotrex, it has a fabulous gearbox drive and is very compact for the output. I was going to use one on mine before I defected to the PD camp.

PS, they are NO WAY cheap. Good kit though.
