If you have one pinhole you know about, how many more are waiting to pop?
If you put, say, $150 into the repair route, and it goes blooey on your way to GA, you are going to hate yourself. That $280 is going to start looking pretty cheap when you're sitting by the road waiting for a tow truck.
Several folks have had good success with the aluminum ones. Search on "billet aluminum" and you'll probably score a few hits that will give you the info you need.
BTW, that "billet aluminum" is just advertising hogwash. They are NOT made from solid billets!
