Need opinions on two aluminum radiators...

So, I didn't replace my radiator when I did my LQ9 swap, and now I've sprung a leak.

I'm on a pretty tight budget, but this is my daily driver so I don't mind making an investment if it makes sense.
Here are my two options:

Option 1:
$459 without fans
Ready relatively immediately
Built for the engine setup in my truck (dual passenger hose connections, steam vent)
Expensive in comparison

Option 2:
$219
Won't be available until late February (not a huge deal, but annoying)
Essentially a direct replacement of what's currently there (requires custom radiator hoses, no steam vent)
Half the price of the other option.

Does anyone have any experience with either of these products? Is there any way to justify the large disparity in price?

Thanks
