Rideplate shenanigans

So...I have been running a stock rideplate ever since I started riding Superjets.
It's been nice, no complaints, really.
Now I just found a crack or two in my current stocker. Obviously, it is only a question of time when it will fold into being garbage.
I have been meaning to try out the D-cut (C-Cut?) for a while. So I figure I can cut out the crack and cut a C (D?) at the same time and get some more life out of that stocker.
I realize that the stock rideplate is not strong enough for cutting AND prolonged use.
What's everyone's favorite Flatwater freestyle plate? I am toying with the idea of getting a nice aftermarket rideplate, but honestly, I don't want to drop the $$$ on that if it's not worth it.
The options are WCF, Blowsion (not really, I don't have THAT sort of dough), and WDK.
The WCF plate doesn't seem to be cut at all. Is there anything special to it? Is it concave? (What's the point of that, anyways?)

I have tried a few plates and always went back to the stocker. Mine even had a hole in it last year so I welded it up I have not found a better plate for me. IMO

Matt, I have a Fly X rideplate with a D cut coming from Sergio at XFT. Supposedly it will be here tomorrow. He charged $150 plus $40 shipping from Brazil to Tacoma. Still cheaper than Blowsion. He's relatively easy to work with considering the time/distance/language barrier. I'm not sure when I'll get the chance to use it in the near future, but everything I have heard about his stuff is positive.
So there's my input.

Stocker with a 3" radius D/C cutout for me. Everyone I've turned on to it locally has (or will) loved it. I keep a spare steering nozzle and ride plate on hand but it's last all season with no problems...
