I'll just respond with the answer I was given a couple of weeks ago when I was trying to decide whether to buy one or not or mod a cheepo stand. First of all if you do buy the yoke, even after you are done with it, you could sell it and get pretty much all your money back. Also I was told that you probably shouldn't just use the arms of the cheepo stand because all the weight is concentrated on a few small areas where as the yoke spreads the weight distribution across a larger area. I know people have said that they have been fine in using a modified stand but most of these people had a 3.0 litre which ismade from aluminum which is stronger than the magnesium used on the 2.7. With respect to the 2.2 I'm not sure but I'm sure the advice you will get from the veteran P-guys is to buy the yoke.
