Default Fuddle or PI for 4L80 converter?

I need some help with a delema... I just traded in my Fuddle HPTruck 9.5" converter in on a 10.5" HDtruck 2400 stall converter two months ago. My 4L65 broke the input drum last week so I am going to an 80. I believe I can get full trade in on my Fuddle converter which basicly gets me a free converter unless I decide to go with their Race series converter. My tranny builder recomends the PI triple disk which is $900. I need some testimonals from those of you that have each of these converters in you 4L80's to help me decide if the PI is worth the $900 over the Fuddle. :help:

If you never want to pull the trans again get the PI, the lock up clutch will eventually go out in the Fuddle.

I just went from a 3k 9.5" single disk PI to a 9.5" 3 disk PI and I wouldn't run any other.
