[Shop-talk] Socket organizers?

In the ongoing quest to organize the toolboxes, I'm looking for socket
organizers. The ones with a pre-determined number of 1/4", 3/8" etc posts
don't work since I have lots of "extra" sockets, like 3 spark plug sockets,
etc.  I also don't like having to wrestle a socket off a snug post with greasy
hands.

I'm thinking a magnetic tray would be the most convenient, like this:

Er, try http://tinyurl.com/yzyzxu5

But that'll get pricy after a while. I also found this bargain but it's
catalog only, and shipping is $7 so it's not exactly a throwaway if it's
garbage. Anyone have one?

What works for you?
