Most people will tell you to go with the Motordyne. I personally have read/heard stories about fitment issues with the Skunk2 plenum.

Talk to Tony at Motordyne and get one of their's.

I have the skunk2 30 min. to install no problems and unlike many mods. I can really tell a differance. Because of the material it is made of it insulates the upper plenum from the lower plenum. I can actually hold my hand on the upper plenum while the car is warmed up. Try that with an aluminum spacer.

well.....
Motordynes spacer uses a thermal isolator below the lower plenum.
The whole plenum stays cool not just the upper.

I didn't know we were talking about the isothermal spacer. That is a different mod that can be used with the skunk2 or the aluminum spacer or any other plenum for that matter. As far as quality goes the skunk2 seemed very precise with no fitment issues and no rough or sharp edges. I cannot speak for any other spacers.

Yup, that's the way Motordyne spacers come now.
& yes you're right you could buy the thermal isolator to use with any spacer.
