I have the Comp version. I like it, just make sure you buy longer better quality bolts that bolt into the rocker arm holes. If you don't there's a good chance you will end up having to heli coil them.

The LSM piece looks really nice.

The Crane valve spring compressor was originally designed by Vinci High Performance, who still sell it. That would be my choice. It is very rugged and works well. I have since modified it to work on Dart and AFR heads.
