I got mine for around £160 last year from USA, with the "extra" board, 4 bar map sensor and shipping! Doesn't take too long to build if you're handy with a soldering iron.

 

I'd rather build it myself even if it was no extra to buy one pre built, I've built 2 now, never really finished the first one because I was still undecided with what options I wanted etc. and sold it with the rest of the car in bits, the second one has been in the one car but I've had it on 2 different engines, if you DIY then you know where you are with it and you can do everything the way you want it.

I've just got ms1, I'm planning on having a go at ms2 for my latest project, but have no problems with what I've got.

unless you have a massive cam or want to use the more advanced idle control valves the is no need to run ms2 in my opinion most of the can bus side of things is unimplemented. ms1 with a v3 board is the best way to go
