[Healeys] Throttle arms

[I Erbs]

I need to replace the throttle arm on my BT7 (its worn out). I have looked
at the BJ type lever and  the BT7 one. I am modifying my throtle linkage to
a cable set up. I have HD8 carbs on my engine. The BJ arm is around $70.00
and the BT7 one is $14.00. I still need to weld and extension. My question
is simple. Is the BJ arm that much of an improvement over the BT7 arm, that
I should pay so much more for it?
I'm using the Denis Welch set up.
