RO/DI unit experiences
Well after a lot of searching I finally decided on one and hooked it up tonight. I took a shot at one that seemed nice for the price and so far I'm very happy with the results. Being in a high clay zone our water is naturally high in minerals so I figured the DI filter wouldnt hurt to add in order to get the cleanest water possible.
I hope this helps a lot of you guys that are debating on one, so far after 1 night the results are great IMO.
The only downside I find to it is that clean water is a tad slow to come out but that is the case with all units. That is just the process of RO in general. This unit claims to get about 1-2 gallons an hour. I believe the ratio is 4:1 waste to pure.
It's very light and compact, and as you can see I placed mine on top of a toilet in our un-used 1/2 bath downstairs. It connects directly to the faucet through an attachment and comes with tubing as well as a plastic valve for on and off control.
I *so far* highly recommend the Mighty Mite simply due to the price ~$130 and the results ( from 262 ppm to <.01). Replacement filters are $33. It's an overall save for me as I was going through 6 gallons a week and needing more most of the time. The same company manufactures another model without the DI filter, but for an extra 20 bucks it's worth the investment.

Here is the after math and the difference in water quality, sorry for the low light conditions.
Hope this helps some of you!
