The best a mini pump can ever hope to be is "not too bad as long as you don't compare it to a frame pump". With the longer stroke it takes less time to fill up a fat tire or a high pressure tire. The long stroke also seems to give your arms more leverage. Mini pumps came about mostly because there was no place to put full frame pumps on double suspension mountain bikes. They also were much more handy for bike messengers who frequently leave their bikes unattended. Still a good reason to use a minipump. If you cyclo-cross, carry your bike up stairs frequently, or use a car carrier where the bike is cradled by the top tube, you may want to mount the pump someplace other than under the top tube.
