Roller Furling?

I was just wondering how many of you have roller furling systems, or is a 22' boat too small to justify this? Currently, I can hook my jib up pretty quick, especially when all I do is just grab it through the forward hatch and pull it out - I don't see any point in keeping it in the bag when it's already out of the sun.

After surfing the net I found what apparently looks like a good deal at http://www.aladous.com - From what I briefly saw at their website, I can get a furling system for my 6.9 boat for $499 including shipping. It states that I can easily install it myself after small modifications to my existing jib. I can also use my existing head stay and will only need minor additional hardware.

Just looking for a way to increase the resale value of my boat.
