The drop-in unit, already modified by Langdon, is a good deal for those people who don't have the experience and shop facilities to do the work themselves. Personally, I'd choose to acquire a used item from Ebay or a salvage yard and save a few bucks, but I realize my situation with 50+ years of experience and a shop full of equipment doesn't fit the norm for most of the members of the Stovebolt community. Different strokes for different folks!
