Neti Pot / Sinus Rinse?

I have had sinus problems for as long as I can remember. Seems like every time the weather changes quickly from warm to cold, I get a sinus infection. (And that happens a lot here in Kentucky, USA).
I tried the netti pot thing, but I may not have given it enough time to work, just seemed like a big hassle to use.
Then I found this spray:

http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=4way+saline&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=12424403208258464214&sa=X&ei=3AybTfWDDMfNtwfGjY3NBw&ved=0CEkQ8wIwAg#

Its probably similar to what was previously linked, but it is saline with a little menthol and Eucalyptol (what ever that is).
Anyway, it comes in a spray bottle like the sinus meds so its very easy to use. It has no drugs in it so you can shoot up whenever you need to and dont worry about getting hooked on it.
The one big difference is that it washes the crap on down your throat, whereas the netti pot washes it into the sink.
But it is a lot more easier to use and more compact so you can even take it to the beach and those family outings!

But what was your experience/success with it?

DaOld Man:
Well, so far it seems to work pretty good. I get some pretty bad sinus infections, usually about mid winter for some reason, maybe the dry weather, so not many of the over the counter things will work for me.
As far as the netti pot. it seemed to clean out my nose and sinus cavities pretty good, it just seems to be a hassle, and I dont seem to make time for it on a regular basis.
Time will tell about the spray, but it does refresh the sinuses.

Never used one, but my brother (who has allergies pretty rough) swears by them.
