Without this getting into a drop/no-drop rant, can someone please help me decide what rail to get. My y-gripped classic Mag currently has a very ugly Shockteck dropforward on it, and a yecky but functional 32* on-off/ASA. Here's a lousy pic of my marker.

That DF doesn't look nearly as bad in person as it does in the photo, but it's still a big mess.
I've been poking around the KAPP store (http://store.yahoo.com/kapp/products-drop-forwards-and-cradles.html), and I like the Micro Rail ($10), the Rhino ($5), and the Tear Drop ($5). I can't say that money isn't a factor, but I'm willing to pay a reasonable amount -- and any of those fits that category. But I don't have the cash to replace my ASA at this point, though the KAPP on-off seems pretty nice. (and it's not that I'm a huge KAPP whore, I just like what I've seen, the prices seem good, and there's a couple other items I'm ordering from their site anyway)
First, am I correct to assume that any one of those is a direct bolt-on to my frame?
Second, it doesn't appear that the TearDrop has a dovetail mount for my ASA, so that's probably out, right?
Third, I may be way off here, but the Micro Rail looks like it would have trouble with enough clearance for my ASA and the valve & shoulders on my 20oz bottle. Can anyone clear that up for me?
Thansk for any help/advice fellas. :hail:
