Available billet/poly solid motor mounts?

Ok, so I've been searching around for a while and I'm getting ready to purchase a full set of motor/transmission mounts. Here's what I've concluded:

BWoody - Offers a full solid replacement for all three mounts with poly inserts at a great price (260). However, the design on the upper engine mount looks pretty shotty IMO. Pretty much everyone seems to agree wheel hop is completely eliminated but at the cost of a very shaky cabin.

TTR - Offer a full solid replacement with poly for the upper engine mount only. Prothane or TTR inserts can be used on the two transmission mounts.

ZZP - Offer solid billet + poly for all three mounts, but VERY costly. 300 bucks just for the tranny mounts?

I'm pretty sold on the craftsmanship of the TTR upper engine mount, but they don't offer solid mounts for the transmission. If I shell out 190 for their mount and want solid mounts for the transmission, the only other option I've found is ZZP (who I don't really desire to deal business with after my last purchase). It's hard to put that much money into buying mounts individually. Sadly I might be leaning towards the BWoody setup.

Does anyone know of any alternative solid transmission mounts? This is all I could find...

been wondering which way to go myself. TTR seems to have great customer service which is a plus for them. my cabin is already shaky from worn stock mounts anyway.

I don't mind the shakes, but to an extreme. From what I've read the BWoody might pass my point of tolerability. If a girl I'm talking to starts choosing the car over me, or one becomes glued to the seat and I have to make her tuck and roll, then it's past that point, haha.

In all seriousness, TTR has been great so far so I guess I'll go that direction if everyone agrees it won't overstress the stock setup. That is why ZZP claimed they created a full replacement...
