TC lock up module question

I emailed the company, but I would also like the non salesman point of view on these items from the fine folks here. I can't believe I haven't done this yet, but I was wondering if any of you have experiences with these modules halfway down the page on the link? Why the huge price difference? and is it worth buying or should I just make my own like some of the other threads about this say? Thanks in advance.

You can have Jody program your DP for TC lockup. Give him a call or send an email.

I have that module from dfuser, I didn't feel like building my own. I have added a TC lockup LED, so I can tell you the DP keeps the it locked until about 35-40 MPH, which is about the limit of effectiveness of the exhaust brake. Although if I flip the TC lock switch I can keep it locked till it stalls if I want, not that I want to though.
