[Shotimes] 80mm MAF failure, ~$price? (HELP)

[Johnsho92]

Great, I'll look into this.   I might end up getting
it to simplify my setup.. :)

Lastly, can someone confirm the pricing or where I can
get a good deal?

and should I go with 75mm Pro-M or 80mm Pro-M?  Big
difference? I guess not.. :)

Thanks
