Default Rad Cap?

When I was doing my flush 'n fill, I went to get a new radiator cap, and came across an item called 'RadCap'. It's a radiator cap with a sacrificial anode (?), which is supposed to help keep the radiator internals from corroding. At $16, I figured I'd give it a shot. Only been in about a month, and the antifreeze on my 85 with 93K is still bright neon green after 2k miles. I was wondering if anyone else has used this cap, or heard feedback about it. It's still too soon for me to make an opinion, but next year I promise I'll let you know.

It was one of the smaller/local chain retailers here in the Portland, OR area - Baxter's, but I think I've seen them in a couple of other stores as well. :seeya
