4l80e converter

I am about to swap my built 4l80e into my previously m6 car. I am only going to have maybe 400RWHP, but will be going with a built 6.0 turbo engine within the next couple years, so this engine setup is temporary.

Im having trouble deciding on going with a cheaper converter ($500) or going all out and get a triple disk converter for later ($1100). Ive built transmissions for years, but have no experience with these aftermarket triple disk converters. How long do these last compared to an oem converter?

A converter will make or break the car. I have had good luck with my PTC converter on my TH400. For my 4l80e swap I am doing now I have a North Texas Converters unit on the way. It is a 245mm single disk lockup with billet front cover. For a good 4l80e converter be prepared to spend $850+. But with most companies offering a good warranty and a free restall, its worth doing right the first time.
