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.
