The money will be well spent and last for years. I'm sure someone will jump on here wondering how I can prove this. So let me take care of that.
The new SFI spec for aluminum seats is the seat is not allowed more than 1/4 inch and has to return .300 with 4000lbs of load on hip, 3000lb on shoulder and 2000lbs on the head.
I hope this helps.

Joss Moffatt had a couple big wrecks this year and he uses the LaJoie seat. He is sold on the safety of it. Yea its expensive but what cost do you put on your safety?
