Watch Winders - Share your experience

I currently have a Wolf Viceroy 2.7 2 Watch winder with storage. It is great, nice and quiet, easy to use. I need to get winders for 4 more watches. I have been eyeing the modular from both Wolf (4.1) and the Diplomat Boxy. I also have a source where I can receive 50% off of Orbita Winders. The one that really interested me is the Futura.

The couple options I am weighing right now:

1. Wolf 4.1 Module x 4 with legs and braces to put then all together, that will be around $1150

2. Diplomat Boxy Winder Stack of 8 (Gives room to grow) for only $649 - might even be able to sell my wolf winder and recoup some cost. Or I could just grab an extra four for $349

3. Futura 3 Watch winder from Orbita (sick piece, half off retail) and Wolf 4.1 Module x 2 with legs and brace, that will be around $1500

My 4th option is to look at some of the cheaper models out there. my huge thing is QUIET as it is right in my room, reliability, and longevity. So if someone has experience with some less expensive model that hold up to the Orbita/Wolf please do share! I would love to get away with the Boxy but I need to know how well built, how quiet, and how reliable they are.

If you have any great less expensive models please SHARE

I have a Wolf 3 watch winder and it's a few years old. Reliable and quiet. These can be had quite reasonably if you know where to look.

Top Notch are winders from Scatola del Tempo and Buben Zorweg. They don't come any better than this.
For me too costly and I bought a Kadloo, which is working fine.
