Wow, and I thought it was just me...
I must say, the first year I had it, I thought it was great - but nat. gas prices were much higher... so there was a BIG difference in heating costs between 2007 (no blanket) and 2008 (blanket). However, the difference in my gas bill between 2009 (blanket) and 2010 (no blanket) was minimal. If I factor in the $100 of shock I had to add to fix the cloudy water problem created by the blanket, 2010 was probably cheaper. I guess I'll revisit this if/when nat gas prices go back up.
A new reel + new blanket is probably ~$500 (or more) which buys a lot of nat. gas at current prices. I dislike the idea of "wasting" all that heat on a cool night, but I also like the convenience of taking a dip without rolling up the damn thing.
