This is what the book looked like in 1976 when I did my first turbo Alfa.

With knowledge the ego builds.
Wouldn't it be great if we could learn wisdom also... thereby keeping our ego in check.

Who said anything about being poor? While I'm certainly not the most wealthy person on this forum I'm sure, I just dropped several thousand dollars on an engine rebuild and other projects I'm taking care of at the same time, so I assure you I have no problem dropping a couple hundred or so on engine mounts if they are needed. And I'm usually very picky about my car, but not in this case since I don't see much difference between hockey pucks and delrin or polyurethane bushings most places are selling for over $100 or $200. The real reason I was going to try hockey pucks is because I need shorter mounts and I figured two hockey pucks on each side would be shorter than the Noltecs I was using...I was incorrect, it's almost the same height exactly, so I've given up on that plan. And to expand on the first reason is...

The hockey pucks are a bit stiffer and are theoretically less likely to break (though I've never actually heard of a Mazda competition mount breaking). The Banzai mounts look great, but I just haven't felt the need to spend the money when hockey pucks are working so well in both my FB and my REPU.
