For reasons I will not bore you with, I may have soon have an opportunity to actually get started on my winter work list (and really hope to be ready for the season by September).

Brake system flush is not the list this year. I even read all of Gene's great sight and found nothing other than a reference that one person put 2 quarts in the power bleeder he built.

Is 2 enough? How much does one typically go through either power or vacuum bleeding.

I'm not sure which method I use yet. Vacuum works well on my cars because they are small and you don't empty the reservoir on any one wheel. I would have to build the rig for pressure bleeding, and that would add to the delay.
