Is the CobraCrabe I HD worth more?

I'm shooting a self funded/self produced feature (but looking for investors). Currently, I'm trying to find low budget/DIY cinematography tools to help make the picture look more expensive than it cost.

Shooting wit a 5D, would the CobraCrane I Plus be good enough? I see they have an "HD" version with a chain tilt mechanism and better support for front heavy setups (DSLRs), but it's more money. With what I save I can make a DIY slider, or put it towards camera control cables.

Thanks for any help.

I have some info now.

Basically, the Plus is good enough for my cameras (5D and HPX170). The HD is new (not even on BH yet) and has a few reinforced mechanisms like a chain pulley system instead of cable. And it's 14'.

Pretty good, but I was able to find a used Plus and the money I saved will go to other things.
