This winter I plan to swap my front manual drums to Wilwood discs. I am in need of a master cyl/prop valve but I can't decide which would be better in my situation. Here's what I'm looking at:

or
https://www.wilwood.com/MasterCylinders/MasterCylinderProd?itemno=261-13626
My car is primarily a street car. It may see some strip time or some twistie turn racing time.
As mentioned, right now it has manual 4 wheel drums. No booster. My engine makes about 17 inches of vacuum at idle.
Here's the email I received from Wilwood based on what they recommend for their master cylinders:
It's a $35 difference, but aside from the Wilwood weighing less and having the ability to adjust the rears in how I want them, what other props and cons are there?
It does look as if the Summit deal is more plug and play, no having to re bend brake lines, and the factory pressure switch plug can be reused. My worries are if I have enough vacuum to run the booster, and if it's going to sit straight on the firewall or if it's going to sit at about 30 degrees tilted up/back.
What do you recommend?
Thanks.

So at this point I am wondering if I'd be better off to skip the MC and run the Wilwood set up with the adjustable prop valve? Or get the Summit MC/booster kit with prop valve?
