GMHTP did a review on 7 or so lids and I think the granatelli lid made the most power. I think the SLP lid is good for the money

If you said a lid is a lid, then wouldn't going with the cheapest or one you like best just be logical?

The SLP was the best for quality construction due to it being the only one piece design in the line up. It was also very close to producing the highest power. All of them were so close, just take your pick of the one that looks the best.
