So when you consider the range of what's out there, PPG and Albins are relatively inexpensive (or grossly under priced! )
Not sure why you are comparing the price of a 4 speed dog kit made for the 5 speed tranny's vs 6 speed kits for the 6 speeds. Albins 6 speed dog kit is priced in line with the Modena, both of which save you good money over a Hollinger and don't give up anything for the savings. I am not that familiar with KAPS gears to make a statement, but I am not sure how the gearset itself can be any better than the others.

I say just make the damn things out of titanium and be done. Lighter, stronger and wont flex easily (in comparison).
I am no materials expert, but I am pretty sure that even if cost was not crazy, ti would shred to peices way faster than OEM.
