Haha ya that's kind of what I was thinking.

Thanks for all of the feedback I'll follow up on all your leads and let you know what I decide.

edit: So I ended up getting the IRD QB-55. It was 23.95 plus $6 shipping to Canada from National Bicycle Co. I figured for approximately the same price as the UN54 and 60 grams lighter I couldn't go wrong. The UN54 was definitely cheaper on ebay, however sellers were charging in the double digits for shipping which seems a little inflated to say the least.
