$500 for the pocket door version. Air compressor extra. I'd be tempted to run a pipe from the garage to the closet to provide air pressure. It would be a lot quieter and you could use the compressor in the garage for other projects (TOOLS )

Couldn't you use something like a window motor from a large pickup truck or something (granted, it doesn't make a cool sound, but it would be cheaper)?

one good thing about the pnumatic is it wont be a fire hazard if it gets stuck

Looking at those prices, it looks like you'll also need a wallet opener.
