Hehe, I'd put a stirrer on the list anyway, I'm eventually going to get one. Every couple of months I go to ebay, put one in my "watch list" and then I don't buy it. I can imagine mixing things up to be so much easier, but it's hard to justify the $80 for something I can do myself by shaking the flask.
For macros, I recommend the Wasser-Pump method, which will mix the mixture each time the doser doses!
