The Biltwell looks more sturdy with the one piece base, but is it worth $150? Thanks for the advice or opinions.

Yes, there is a $150 difference. The first one costs $50 and the second one costs $200.

That's quite amusing ___ but not my style, especially since I did not nor am I doing anything illegal.

I am just curious is all.

You asked for opinions....i gave mine.

The Biltwell one is in my opinion better quality, therefore more expensive.
$150 better? that's for you the consumer to decide.

Why would I have to buy the budget priced one twice?

What makes the Biltwell (not just looks) better quality ? That is essentially what I'm asking.
