Kinda neat, but a pain for any more than probably a couple gallons at a time.
Can't say I have ever actually had issues with ethanol in my fuel though. My main complaint is the lack of BTUs in ethanol and the loss of power and economy associated with it.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!

When you use that kit to remove the ethanol, what do you put back in it's place to restore the octane you lose?

My Impala sat for over 3 years with ethanol gas in it. Hit the key and she fired right up. The fuel mileage definitely suffers, but I haven't noticed any other issues myself.
