Default Is it worth twice as much?

I'm now looking for a TC for my next mod.
I can get a 2800 stall for about $400
or i can get a yank SS3200 for around $895.
I know some guys running the 2800 TC with good results(1.7xx-1.8xx 60') would it really be worth the extra money for another 400rpm of stall.

I know some will tell me to getter a higher stall, but i really don't want anything to high, 3200 is as high as i would like to go(i'm keeping my 3:15 gears)

Thanks for any input :seeya

Compare the converters feature by feature and I bet you'll find you're getting more than just the difference in stall speed for the extra $$.
