.Besides being $50 cheaper, the Skunk2 is made of Nylon, which is a better thermal insulator than aluminum. Since I didn't care about the engine cover fitting (just extra weight, right?) I went with the Skunk2. I also bought a second gasket to use instead of silicone, so that offset the cost difference a bit. Installation was a piece of cake, no problems at all.

As far as heat goes, it's going to get hot in the engine. The spacer will do little to "heat" the air in the chamber compared to the upper and lower collectors. Of the two you said I would go with Motordyne.
Have you looked into the PowerLabs 3/8" spacer? I bought that and the MREV2 and it's a great combo.

+1 Motordyne. Both spacers probably are equivilant in terms of performance, but if you have issues, Tony (from Motordyne) is easy to get a hold of to answer questions, and he's active on the forms here as well!

I have no idea what the difference is but the consensus on this forum is that MotorDyne is the way to go and there are a lot of people on here who are more informed than I am so I followed them.
The install is not hard but you need to be aware that it can be difficult to disconnect some of the coolant hoses and you HAVE to properly torque the bolts. I went ahead and picked up an inch/lbs torque wrench which added to the total cost of the project but it made me feel more comfortable with the install. Maybe you can rent one from a parts store instead of purchasing like I did.
