I'm not a HDD person so I'll chime in with an "outsider's" perspective.
At what point to you overpay for what is essentially a metal table? It's more practical than innovative and chances are someone else would have thought of it if Salvation hadn't. If Salvation charged a lower and more reasonable amount, there wouldn't be a need for cloners.
Ideally, what you want to see is someone innovating and then others adding additional innovations to the original design...always progressing to the benefit of the community. The fact that it hasn't really changed speaks volumes.
It is nice and shiny though
and probably manufactured to high tolerances so if you like quality products and tools, it's no doubt a worthwhile investment.
