I'm having trouble finding actual people who have the Heatflow S5 forced air kit on their SBI stoves. Or similarly, the VENTULT kit on their JA Roby stove.

I'm looking at getting the Heatflow specifically, on either a Drolet or a Century stove in my basement. I've posted here recently and someone recommended it for getting some heat to the 500 sq ft level above my basement in an oddly laid out house.

It's fairly expensive so I just wanted some first hand experiences from recent users before I pulled the trigger on the larger stove and the kit itself.

If you've used it, how effective was it at getting the heat into other rooms or levels?
