I got the cheapie aluminum one from summit, and it is not flat on the bottom. Now it now is an expensive dust collector.

i know you ask about the billet specialties brand . i haven't tried that brand but Ive got the meziere water neck the center swivels and the hose inlet fitting is interchangeable for different hose sizes . it hasn't leaked yet. i bet the billet specialties is of good quality also
