Default The F-Sport Onboard Tire Repair System or new spare tire/wheel?

I have the 19inch F-Sport Wheels which now means my normal spare tire/wheel in the trunk won't cut it anymore. Just wondering, if the F-Sport Onboard Tire Repair System would be useful or a good alternate for a spare wheel/tire? Has anyone ever used it? does it work, if so how well? Any feedback would be great.

Hmm... you can still use the spare unless you also have BBK.

The spare will work fine if you're only using it temporarily.

WOW! Thank god! I thought I'd have to get a new spare. I don't have BBK so I'm good! Thank you for clearing that up. I assumed that since the stock wheels are 18inch and the F-Sport wheels are 19inch then the spare wouldn't work.
