Mine cost $89 ($105.16 with shipping) in June. I bought mine via an ad in TheSamba. Gotta think that it will be less without evilBay charges.

I borrowed one exactly like Jesset100s for a while but the owner needed it back so I had to buy my own. The big one is a beautiful piece of equipment and the various lips and reliefs are really nice. Interestingly, I actually had to grind out an extra relief in the big yoke for it to work on my SC engine. IIRC it was due to the crossover pipe for the exhaust unique to SCs but don't hold me to that. I hated to see it go.

When I mounted my new one, I don't recall seeing anywhere that I won't be able to mount stuff back on the engine. I suspect that the reliefs on the heavy-duty unit are to allow for how thick it is.

If I built engines for a living the big unit would be the way to go. I don't do it for a living and I like the $100 price more.
