Just my 2 cents.

Agreed. I thought I would need a cap for my system but ended up being
able to get a new alt and double the amperage for less than the
'reccomended' size cap i would 'have' to buy.

I guess a lot of it depends on your car, too. For my car, $100 won't
even buy a stock-replacement 60A alternator. $120 will get you an 85A
aftermarket replacement, but that's as high as it goes unless you get
into custom brackets and the like.
