Hoping for advice on locking trems.

I'm building up a strat at the moment and have decided it has to have a locking trem.
So looking at prices there seems to be three common options:

1. Floyd rose original - Approx £200+
2. Schaller licenced copy - Approx £150
3. Ebay licenced copy - Approx £40

I'm discounting the Ebay ones as I have my doubts about licencing and quality. (I'm pretty sure that at least a few of them are poor quality pirate copies made from 'steel' with the physical characteristics of plasticine)

I'm discounting the Floyd Rose one as the Schaller is cheaper, and I suspect every bit as well made.

Am I wrong? Are there other options I'm missing out on.

Opinions gratefully received.

Thanks, Grant.

I've never liked a solo violin, you need at least five for a proper fire.
