I just bought a Kenia Leupold spotting scope and I need a window mount.  I see the prices vary.  What is the best for the money?

I tried some cheap mounts and ended up doing it right and putting together about the same mount as posted above and would do it again in a second.

+2 on the Manfrotto.
 
I have the 243 and a 128RC head.

The Manfrotto 243 is the best available, at least that I have seen.  The others I have tried suck bad in comparison.
