What Valvespring Compressor do you have/use?

Hey Guys-

I'm putting new cams in the Max with new valvesprings, retainers, and shims. I would like to know what the concensus is on valvespring compressors. I know there are a few of them out there, and most of them work like crap. What brand have you used or recommend and how well does it do it's job? Where would I pick one up for and about how much? Thanks for your assistance, in my quest for moar powah.

The one I have requires removing the head (http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...ing+compressor). I'll probably end up buying the JWT unit.

I just shot SR the link and we'll probably pick this one up. Looks to be the best one I've seen so far.
