Default Need Header Opinions: JBA or MAC

I'd like some opinions on which setup I should go with. I stand the chance to buy either setup for about the same price.

JBA LT Stainless Silver ceramic coated + matching O/R H + O2 extenders for $650

or

MAC LT Stainless ceramic coated for $390 + matching O/R Pro Chamber for $200


I'm not sure which way to bend here. I really like the sound of the prochamber, but the fact that MACs LT are not a full length header, will they get the same sound as a JBA long tube? I've read somewhere that JBA is noted for having a more "rumbly" sound at idle. But I like the idea of not having to change the motor mounts with the MAC as its recommended with the JBAs.

Anyway, if someone could chime in with their experience with either setup.

Thanks

Similar thread, that was one was asking if that JBA setup was a good price. But now I came across the prochamber option which I really like too. Oh hell, maybe I'll just buy both and add them together.
