If you're happy with it, I'd keep it. The Pocket Impero is basically just a "sawed-off" Impero Ultimate, which is also a nice pump.

Like I said above, my preference is to not carry a pump in my jersey pockets on training rides...I prefer to keep the pockets open for food, phone, ID, arm warmers, jacket, etc. ...things I will most likely access on the ride. But, if that doesn't bother you, then no problem.

My thought process is that for things that I know I'll carry on each training ride, and will only access periodically (not necessarily every ride), then I'll try to find a way to mount it to the bike so it's always "ready to go" with those items...especially if they are "road repair" related. I know that if I don't, then invariably there will come a time I'll forget to take an item, and of course that will be the ride I'll NEED said item ;-)

So, pump/tube/levers/patch kit/multi-tool find a more permanent place on the bike, either in a seat bag, bento, or in the case of a frame pump, on the frame. BTW, I prefer pumps (full-sized over compact, if it makes sense) instead of CO2 just because then I don't have to worry about how many CO2 cartridges to carry.

One interesting note about the full-sized Impero Ultimate mounted on my road bike...significantly more OTHER people have used that pump than I have personally. It's amazing how when folks realize that it's available, they tend to ask to borrow it...since they know it works better/faster than most other inflation options ;-)
