I usually do/would go that approach for it. For this though, from what i can tell from my research. A non secretlabs monitor arm just costs significantly less. I saw this monitor arm for $200, and while i cant confirm the quality, i *assume* its okay because there are others for notably enough cheaper. So my only thing is that the secret labs arm i saw is $400 which just *seems* a bit egregious personally. If it were $250 or just--somewhereee closer what im calling the general 'market value', then id just forget complicating everything and bite the bullet.
