Default T-45R/RS opinions?

Well, I justwent throughmy firstT-45 on a messed up burnout (slipped coming out of the water) and a failed 2-3 shift trying to get away just kicking the clutch to the floor (powershift). My options as I see it are the Tremec 3550, TKO500, TKO600, or another alternative I'm interested in is the re-engineered T-45R and T-45RS from thedrivenman. They go for 1100 and 1400 respectively and are supposed to be bad@ss. Has anyone had anyone experience using either of the reengineered T-45's?

I spoke to the a couple of guys from Keisler Engineering (the people who are re-manufacturing the T45) when they where on the Hot Rod Power Tour and they seem to know there stuff and have put alot into these transmissions. You might be able to get them cheaper if you go right to them for the trans I'm definitely going to them when mine breaks again. Click here for Keisler

A T-45 is a T-45, don't waist your money on a rebuild, go with the TKO, you'll thank me later!
A shop in PA (Hanlon motorsports) advised me against this, pretty reputable!
