Electric Pot Build- Weldless or Soldered Element Enclosure

[Liveforliving]

I'm about a week away from ordering all my parts for the HLT and the BK. I have 25 gallon pots that I'm going to convert. The question now is to go with weldless or soldering?
Brewhardware sells both weldless and soldering (not welding) conversions. The soldering version is $65, while the weldless is only $23. Has anyone used either one from them? They say on the site that the weldless one is tough to clean and difficult to take apart, but I'm not sure if I want to pay 2x the amount for this solder design.

Would love you know if anyone has used either one, or if there is a more popular option I'm not considering.

Plenty of people are using the solder on tri-clamp adapter that Bobby sells. I am 100% satisfied with them and I know others are too. Bobby sells the solder/flux combo on his site and even has a video to show you how to put it on your pot. You will not be disappointed.
