Need advice on picking the right slider for my Canon 5D. Edlekrone or Rhino Slider?

Im choosing between these two and would like to know if anyone has used either one. I like the Edlekrone slider plus pro but you can not use it on the ground as well as the Rhino Slider. Also the motion control system for the Edelkrone is loud and you can not use it for interviews where the camera is close to the subject.
It seems like the Rhino Slider might be best and they are coming out with a motion control. Any advice would be appreciated.
 
Does it need to have automated movement? I might check out the Redrock Micro One Man Crew. It's expensive, but it's pretty dang quiet from what I heard. Does it not need to be automated? Maybe check out the iFootage Shark S1. Its more expensive than the rhino 2ft slider, but offers a unique sliding wheel mechanism that allows the operator to move the camera without having to touch the camera itself which can sometimes cause inconsistent slide speeds. Check out this review of it.
 
I'm really looking for a about a 2ft slider so I can stay small and mobile with. I saw the One Man Crew at NAB and it is rather large and not as mobile or easy to pack. It also costs about $1500. The Rhino also allows you to buy 4ft rails which your can add on if you need more length. I think in the long run I would want automated because sometimes I operate 2 cameras at once.
