I have never heard good things about the repops and I assume that they are all made by the same folks. The complaints are about the fit. I don't know this for sure, but I have heard claims that the repro's do not taper out like the originals. As you probably know, each bar on an original is different. I see folks collecting bars to piece together one good grill. The #5 bar, the bottom one, is the hardest to find straight. We have a huge swap meet here in Portland. Last year I went looking for a good chrome original and I scored a nice one for 150.00. I generally see the repro's going for 350.00 to 400.00. Every year at the swap meet I see a chrome shop from S. Cal. that usually has a rechromed original for about 500.00. That is probably the best way to go if you can't find a good original.
Good Luck,
