Bikes: Dahon Mu Uno '14 - Black / Giant Boulder '06

Aber Hallo or Litepro Stem Extender?

I'm considering one of these two for my Dahon Mu Uno:

Aber Hallo: £30.49 delivered within UK (UK stock)
bicyclerepair.co.uk: Parts and Accessories:

Pro's:
+ Most likely has better build quality & sturdiness but can't be absolutely sure from pics
+ Degree markings give a quick & useful reference point if using multiple configurations which I probably will be using
+ Will get this within few days. Cheaper LitePro could apparently take almost a month to get to me! Unless I'm willing to pay more for it (e.g. £25.33 via ebay)
+ Aber gives me 50mm extension. Can't find figure re: Litepro but unit is 75mm length with 25.4mm diameter clamps. I reckon it would give me approx 32mm reach.

Vs

LitePro Adjustable Double Stem: £19.80 delivered to UK (China stock)
LitePro Bicycle Adjustable Double Stem For Dahon Folding Bike Light Weight Stem | eBay

Pro's
+ Half the weight (95g Vs 199g)
+ Cheaper
+ Looks much better (I'm considering silver or black)

Pls share your thoughts. Especially if you've seen/used both in the flesh :-)
