Steering column help

I'm looking for good quality aftermarket steering column at an affordable price. Would like your feedback.

Take the time to read this before you decide, there is a whole heap of cheap nasty copies out there.

I put a $300 one in by (_ _ _) forgot the name in my 52.
I didn't like it or something didn't work right, don't remember why, took it out and sold it on e-bay and bought a Flaming River.

I only use factory columns, cheap and engineered to last.

I recently bought a black powder-coated Ididit tilt only column. It was a little under $500, but seemed worth it to me. I think for a few more bucks it's good to go with Ididit or Flaming River for peace of mind...or, as mentioned, stock ones are fine just not as pretty sometimes.

I have an Ididit column and I'm happy with it.
