It's a fairly decent roaster, but personally when faced with the same dilemma, i waited round for a while and then bought a used hottop(from a tmc member's clubroom advert). I think that route will probably be more rewarding for you as well as it allows for more reasonable sized batches.
20 cappucinos a week easily justifies the larger roast batch on a hottop. If you had an i-roast, you'd have to roast multiple batches each week, and i suspect would get bored/frustrated with it as you have with the popper. Sams advice - hold out for a hottop if possible or else gene/alpenrost etc.
good luck!

You could always try a wanted ad in the members clubroom - tho saying that i have no idea what the etiquette code on that is!
