Default So is a Canton pan worth it?

As some of you may know, I had a problem with my oil pan.

Long story short, I need to replace it, but I'm trying to decide between buying another stocker or upgrading to a Canton. GM want's ~300 for a new stock pan, I can get the the Canton $498 w/ the remote adaptor included.

Is it worth the extra money? There aren't too many posts on this piece so it's hard to tell. I don't mind spending the extra dough, but besides the baffles the only thing I could find that's better is that it's about 5lbs lighter than stock. Surely that can't be it can it?

Does anyone that runs one have any input on the matter?
