440 Source Balance Job

Mallory metal is EXPENSIVE. If yall are paying the same for a balance CHECK as to have it balanced, you're gettin ripped off. I can get a balance CHECK for $175. What's an extra $175 or a little more even to check to make SURE a $3000 plus reciprocating assembly is balanced right? Kinda like having anybody's cylinder heads checked out. I don't see the issue, really. IF I could afford a balanced rotating assembly, I sure wouldn't gripe about having it checked out.
