Which of these TurnTable pucks should I buy?

I drilled a hockey puck about 1/64" undersize for my TT spindle, and didn't drill through. There is sufficent compression of the rubber in the puck that I can press it on and flatten the disk to the platter and the suction created holds it in place. Firmly coupled and minimal weight - works for me and only $.99 for the puck
 
I found this DIY clamp http://www.xs4all.nl/~rabruil/puck.html interesting.
Well, it is a DIY if you have a lathe :D
I printed out the drawing and took it to a nearby machine shop where I had the clamp fabricated out of aluminium for $30. Later I hand-polished it using brasso and that made it look real nice on top of the hand polished platter of my Thorens.
I'm using it with the Yamaha PF-800 now. Both of these are suspension TTs, but slight spring tension adjustments took care of the additional weight.
Definitely something to consider. I will take a pic this aft.
