I have a very similar setup that I would be more than willing to sell. Bottom line, there is really no need, and they are WAY more trouble than they are worth. See, the problem is getting a good seal on the top of the reservior. The kit I have uses a spare tire (great idea, really) for pressure. The problem is that the strap setup to get the top on is a huge pain in the ass. Bottom line, last time I used it, I thought it was working, then POP, brake fluid everywhere.
Now I just have a bottle with a fairly tight fitting hose that I just slip over the nipple. I do it myself without a helper monkey, and I have never had a problem with air in the lines. So long as the seal around the nipple is tight, there really is no way to introduce air into the system. The only advantage a pressureized system has, is that you don't have to pump your brakes or refill the reservior.
Bleeding brakes is a lot easier than some seem to think it is.
I know some people using speed-bleeders. They have a little ball bearing check valve, so that fluid/air can only go one way. I have also see these break inside calipers...
