perlite wick cloner + hempy bucket = ultimate bucket or pointless waste?

In the grand history of marijuana cultivation, I'm sure somebody had the great idea to combine these two products into a wick hempy bucket. I'm sure if you understand both concepts and thought about how they would interact, it's easy to imagine.

Now that said, how about it? Brilliant, or pointless?

Is it a standard hempy bucket but with added wicks placed vertically? Some cotton strips may assist in wetting the upper layer of perlite. Hmmm, wonder if that would assist the initial growth period when the roots seek the bottom of the bucket?
