Default link bar lifters

Are Morel & Lunati the only game in town for link bar lifters? Lunati's 72332LUN and Morel's 'street' bar system are both about $380 it appears. Are those the best value for a link bar system?

Yeah the Lunati seem to be the best bang for the buck on them. We have run several sets of them so far and they seem to work extremely well. If you are looking for an alternate choice, Comp has some nice ones but they are a bit more expensive.

I'm looking for an inexpensive solution to keep the lifters from turning in the bore...one engine the lifter turned and we found the tray cracked...next motor used a rev kit, but it cracked through the bolt hole allowing it to rock under the head and was noisy. Too bad they can't make the bore in a shape which doesn't allow the lifter to rotate.

Thunder lists a $380 new 'street' bar lifter from Morel, I guess that's my inexpensive answer.

So what is the difference between these latest morels and the ones of old? Have production numbers increased allowing prices to reduce? I am just wanting to make sure that the design improvements of the $500 set of morels haven't been lost in the new "cheaper" version.
