Yeah, you're just gonna have to put a good $155 or so to nearly guarantee you'll win that thing (doesn't mean you'll actually pay $155, nor even win, but that's just to counter sniping). More like $120-$130 in the end would be my guess.
I'm a big proponent of modding systems - less units to fiddle with, cheaper - especially in the case of PCE/TG-16, and doesn't give you the compatibility problems like some converters (though I heard Kisado IS the one if you want a converter).
