Shocks - reproduction vs. rebuilt

I just bought a modern set from Ken Davis Model A if that is what you are looking for. He's probably $100 cheaper than the major vendors, and they all about the same.

He is less expensive, but his kit requires a hole to be drilled through the front axle. I don’t think that sounds like a great idea.

Not a great idea in terms of aesthetics, performance, or market value?

Aesthetics, non-reversible. I would use a kit that had a bolt on/reversible mount, but not one that requires a visible hole/bolt. Different strokes for different folks.
