The Lakewoods have a known quality issue with alignment.  Some of them have been WAY out of tolerance.  I even talked to one guy who said his was so far out, he couldn't even use it!  OTOH, some of them line up just fine.

The McLeods are just much more likely to be within spec.  Either way, I always recommend checking the alignment to be for sure.
Plus, even if the bell is perfect, the block could be off some due to core shift during casting.

Why are they better? Don't they both sell SFI shields?

I had a McLeod (used) I bought complete off ebay last year for $100. Sold it
at a swap meet in the fall for $150.

Yup, they usually sell for $279.

No,  you generally see the Lakewoods at the swap meets, and the McLeod
are much better quality.
