suggestions for replacement pressure manifold

My old dual pressure manifold finally bit the dust. Over the years I fixed hoses, replaced dial plastic faces, put new o rings in the valves, but it got dropped and the pot metal body literally broke in half . . . .

I think I got it at a yard sale some 30+ years ago for ~$3. Time to look for a new one. Need to do R410, R 22, etc.

Suggestions on e-Bay, Amazon, Grainger, Northern Tool, etc? I see prices from $20 all the way up to nearly $100 (Yellow Jacket brand). I suspect something in the middle might be about right, but as always, you guys will know more than I do.

I understand that low loss coupling fittings are now standard, but some of the specs don't even mention them.

Thanks in advance.
