I dissagree with Mark on this one. (Dont worry, were still the "anti Win95"
buds!) Although it will transmit some (I stress the word -SOME-.) vibrations
to the chassis, its nothing that will be noticable. You will have a better
feel for the road since it effectively stops some of the torque movement on
the motor. Power will be put down a "smidge" (Thats an english term, I
believe) sooner and will give you the feeling of more power. (huh you say)

The key there is "reliability and comfort. yaz can have the both! Well, you
could, kinda. The cheapy unit wont last as long, but, it will dampen more
vibrato's from the interior. The TT unit will transmit a teency bit more and
will last you a long, long time. 
Compare the cost and time of buying more of the cheapies as to about how
long the TT will last? Sometimes it pans out cheaper to have a stockpile of
replacements as to never having to deal with a part again. 

BTW, thanks for the POWOW last night. It was kinda interesting even tho we
didnt have word one about VW's!
