For the price, I do not think I can beat it.For the cons:To point out the obvious, the pritchel hole is oddly placed, it seems they did that for their convenience. But this is obvious in the picture so I can't hold it against them too much. The hole placement also made it easier to bolt down to my anvil stand.The hardy hole on mine was not exact in its size, but close enough.The pros:After grinding down the edges on this things, I have been using it basically every day, and it has held up well. No obvious chipping or marring.I have not owned an anvil previously, but I would buy this again.
