The JLT unit uses factory Ford hoses, which means install takes literally 30 seconds, tops, and they are ultra-durable (being Ford hoses). The Mishimoto unit has a sight glass (more like sight plastic), which I have found most useful as a source for a vacuum leak.
The JLT unit also honestly looks like it came from the factory there - that's how well it's engineered. I'd definitely spend the extra $30 - I did.

I have to say that I really had to clench up tight to spend the money on the JLT, but having seen it up close and installed it, it's probably touching over on the "worth it" side. If it works half as well as it fits and looks, it's a deal.

Not only does the conceptualpolymer probably do a better job of capturing blowby than the JLT. It will store more of it before you have to empty the reservoir. I got real tired, real quick, of emptying my little husky separator every 200 miles. It may not be as big of a deal naturally aspirated but boosted cars seem to have significantly more blowby.
The JLT is not even close to half the cost of the conceptualpolymer. $119 vs. $155. And $155 with the conceptualpolymer gets you an extra filter, brass fittings, and the bigger reservoir.
