Anyone have a Little Fwend tonearm lifter?

Thinking about buying one of these, was wondering if it was worth $250

The setup also makes it so the lifter seems to always trip at the same spot, at least I haven’t run into a situation where it doesn’t trip or trips too early.

Should be here just after labour day so will report back when installed as to my thoughts on it.
