Default Torque Arm advice/comparo

I have the Spohn Adj. TA now and was wondering about the differences in The Spohn piece vs. the Madman piece for the 4th gen camaro.
It looks like the Madman arm is longer than the Spohn and mounts up near the stock location on a cross bar. True?
Whereas the Spohn arm mounts on the "g-load brace" area.
Has anyone tried both arms or know anyone that has and if so, are there any negligble differences in performance?

Both arms mount close to the same area around the G-Load brace. The main difference between my arm and others out there is that you can adjust instant center AND pinion angle. Also my arms have double adjusters top and bottom on the rear so you will never have a bind on the arm at the rearend.

Sell it and buy the one you want. They are still in demand and easy to sell.

Would you mind taking a moment and teaching a few of us some of the basics such as 'instant center' and the issue other TA may have with rearend bind?
