I have a zefal HPX I modified to be a little less ugly and that so far has been my best solution. Clearly its possible to make a reliable frame pump for not much $. If it had zefal innards/decadal reliability with 0 maintenance and silca aesthetics, it would be a winner.

the impero honks. Its way too expensive and doesn't function great. You have to force it into the valve, there is no way to keep it in the valve but you pushing it in there. It makes pumping very awkward and usually will bend the tip of the valve. The best apart about the tattico is the way it clamps into the valve and with the extension tube thing (sorry all the words escaping me today) it makes pumping so easy.
