Experimenting with Rain Gun made me to further explore the Drip as well. Though initially I was hesitant due to maintenance overhead involved in Drip irrigation, Later I felt it is highly efficient and controllable. Overhead in Drip can be overcome by choosing good quality and I landed in NETAFIM an Israel based company.
