I have used a pro seeder for two seasons and I find it very useful for sowing tiny seeds in to modules.
It works by using one of three sized tips: you push the air out and use the vacumn to pick up individual seeds :tongue2:and then push the air out to deposit the seed. I don't use it for med/large seeds. but if you sow lots of tiny/expensive seeds, you might want to give it a go. It does take a little practice to do it without thinking. I used a couple of plates to practice. And you still might want to have reading glasses handy :tongue2:

This looks a good idea, seems to work like the proseeder
