Default Wheeler lapping kit or something better?

Looking at buying a wheeler kit for lapping my rings. $100-150 depending on where I buy it. Comes with 1” and 30 mm bars and all the other goodies needed. Does wheeler make a good kit? Are there better lapping kits in the same ballpark price?

Brownells makes a similar kit, but i’m Sure that one is fine.

I've used the same wheeler kit to do well over 100 scopes and have had no issues.

The levels that come with it suck. Get the professional levels as well. Much better.

I've used the Wheeler kit a lot now, it does work great.
