I really like the spectre low profile one much better:

Be sure to check the machined surface of that Spectre plenum before installation. I'm sorry I didn't. Beautiful polished aluminum in a nifty Chivas Regal cloth bag blinded me and I didn't inspect it closely enough. There were bandsaw marks and an uneven bottom surface that wouldn't seal with the thin treated paper gasket. Ended up getting a warranty replacement.

Also, if you have the Mr Gasket or other plastic plenum riser, check to see if there are gaps at the sprue holes. Mine had what looked like someone had taken a hacksaw to each of the 8(?) sprue locations and cut a 1/16" notch. That combined with the faulty plenum surface explained the silica in my oil analysis.
