I have to apologize, I recently stated the Spec costs a bit more (because my experience is with the SVT version) I completely forgot you are looking at the MTX75 clutch which is actually cheaper than the clutchmasters.

So I would definately go with the spec over clutchmasters. (Price = 377.95)

This clutch is no different (as far as general design) than the clutchmasters Stg IV. It's a 4 puck (6 puck optional) ceramic padded disc. Again, ceramic is not at touchy when it comes to breakin as kevlar padded discs but they also will not last as long as a property broken in kevlar disc.

Initial bite is aggressive but not unliveable. It'll take probably a week to get used to the bite, but after the 1st week you should be good to go. Just keep in mind, even though ceramic discs aren't as prone to glazing during break-in, that doesn't make the 500 mile break-in period any less important.
