I did shop around, but I probably paid extra because I wanted a machined lip since my bike has a rear brake. Too bad the wheel I got didn't have a machined lip like the description said, they have since edited their poorly-written description after I gave them a bad review.
I'm surprised to see chains are supposed to be that loose, I've had my chain loosen up on me and it feels so sloppy, but it looks like looser chain it is.
