I can't decide between Blitz LM or a GReddy V SPL. Any other comments?

I like the idea of having a part that I know is backed by a reputable name. The biggest thing is the GReddy V SPL is $750 and the Blitz LM is $850 from HT.

Or you can do like I did and get on eBay and pick up a hybrid intercooler kit for an S15 that comes will all of the piping (hot pipe even) for $650 shipped. I've been running it for 6 months now and haven't had one complaint about it. You'll have to modify the cold pipe a little bit and plug off one of the lines, but you'll have to do that with the others anyway. (Unless you find one for a CA)
