Well once your setup is complete you should post it up for us other do-it-yourselfers.

I found one store in calgary selling for $175 a piece. They can hold 300lbs each....double what I need. Unfortunaly thats all they have

for about 60US you can get avenger 1000's. They seem to be a popular choice.

CRL (http://www.crlaurence.ca/ProductPages/B/B06311_28974.html?Origin=) in Calgary handles all kinds of suction systems. If you find a suction cup or any other accessories that you may need, PM me and I will get it through my distributor that I deal with.
