I think i've seen some adjustables ones for around $200 on eBay. Such a simple design. May be I'll pass by the local metal place and see how much the aluminum is. :)

If you can find it, go with the 1/2" channel, I looked real hard at the same thing 2 or 3 weeks ago.

One concern I have with buying the aluminum is that I don't think I can get this "T6061" (or whatever) type of aluminum. 1/2" channel shouldn't be a problem to get. I'll look for thicker stuff too.
