Default Which oil catch tank to choose? Spoon or Cusco?

Hi,

I am looking at getting an oil catch tank but I am not sure which one to get? I've only found Cusco and Spoon to make oil catch tanks for the s2000, but at http://www.takakaira.com the price difference is $ 150,- , with the Cusco being $ 99,95 and the Spoon 250,- !

Could anyone with experience running an oil catch tank share their experience? And is the Spoon worth $ 150,- more?

With the cusco you lose your cruse control. But if that not a prob. Get the cusco. I have one on my SC s2000 and works well. After being out at 9 grand for an hour you can see oil in the lines of the intake side of the can.

I am in luck as the European s2000 model doesn't have cruise control, so I don't have to remove anything to fit it.

Do you know what the difference is between the Spoon and Cusco, except the location (implied guess) and the price ?
