Default Trans Decision Help

Im trying to decide between a HTS full Billit trans and a Goerend trans with just a billit input shaft.
These setups come in around the same numbers both with billit flex plates, triple disc converters and valve bodies.

I'm having a hard time making the decision so Im calling for your help on this one , I NEED INPUT!

Thanks For the help.
Randy

x3 on Goerend. mine has NEVER thought about letting me down..... (even at a 65% load on the dyno w/ 35psi @ 1800rpms )

also i'd look into the billet intermediate shaft. if you were to break the intermediate shaft 90% of the time it wipes out all the internals or does a good bit of damage. i have the billet input and intermediate shafts in mine. i left the stock output shaft. if and when it breaks it can be replaced w/o having to remove the tranny from the truck.

Im rolling on a tight budget though and my current TC is Shot!!! Dont know how it got that way But the two options I listed are about all I can Handle, Billit intermediate would bump it up another $750
