Ultasonic vs SST media

I just switched to SST media it seems to work great I already had a Thumlers Tumbler so I only had to get the media, I've been shooting more sub calibers lately and have a couple more on the way, the SST media isn't near as bad as cleaning out walnut or corncob from a .17 or .20 case mouth.
I was just going to pull the trigger on a ultrasonic cleaner when I tried the SST media so just wondering what I may be missing
 
Having both, you're not missing much. In fact, I can't think of a single advantage other than it might make sense to do smaller batches in the Ultrasonic if you only have a few cases of a particular caliber to clean.

Overall, I'd take SST over the ultrasonic as it gets so many cases so clean without any real work on your part.
