If you're planning on driving tuning pins, the little one won't get it. 
You need the power and mass of the big one. I bought one from Harbor 
Freight figuring I'd try a cheap disposable nailer before upgrading to a 
better class tool, but have been using the cheap one just fine ever 
since. I bought a little Grip-Rite mini a couple of years ago to play 
with. It won't drive tuning pins, but may do rail dowels okay. Don't know.
