Have seen them fitted, easy job and seem to work OK, but the dedicated macerator/pump is a far stronger beast. Also not much more money for a complete new toilet.

like others have mentioned the Joker valves have clogged up a few times which has resulted in the pan filling back up. Its easily cleared but unpleasant

A quick squeeze of the flexible rubber part just before the joker as you're in flush-out mode solves that, but I think it's a design flaw that will get modified in mk2 Check your volts at the loo, we hardly ever get problems now that I've beefed up the cables.

Have a lite on the boat and bought it a few years ago when they first were launched. Jokers need frequent replacement, the squeeze technique described in another post to clear minor blocks works effectively but please note it's 'not that quiet' . No 1 daughter flushed wet wipes down last summer which promptly snapped drive belt but aside from this event very pleased with it. It took 15 mins to sort out and the replace belt.
Have some spares; inlet pump, joker valve and spare belt on board and I replaced silly plastic clips which secure pipes with double jubilee clips (belt and braces approach) which just felt more robust and secure. I have five metres of hose before tank so takes four or five flush cycles to clear pipe and I always throw soapy water in the bowl before leaving boat to flush heads through.
