Hi, folks. My used 2007 R9 came with a metal jack plate which I guess is probably safer than the cream plastic ones but I think I prefer the original look. I don't need to spend a lot of money for something that's extremely vintage correct. So far I've found the two examples below, a regular Gibson one for $7.99:

and a Gibson 'Historic Spec' one for $29.95:

I read that some of these replacement plates don't fit Historic guitars - I guess the screw holes don't line up? Am I going to be OK with either one of these? And I guess the 'Historic Spec' one is going to be thinner - do you folks think it'll make enough of an aesthetic difference to justity the extra expense?
Thanks!
Jesse
