AK 24mm muzzle brakes

Hey guys,
so I currently have an Arsenal SLR-107 with the 24mm threaded barrel. It comes with a fantastic AK74 style brake, but I have been playing around with what parts I'm using on my rifle and the 922(r) question has come up. Basically, if I don't want to have to replace all my Bulgarian Circle 10 magazines with US made followers and floor plates (which is cheap to do, but then I have to keep track of what mags I use in it) I'll have to replace two other parts with US made parts.

I know what my options are for most everything else, but I don't have much of an idea of what's out there for 24mm muzzle attachments. The only two options I see at the moment are either a US made AK74 style from Krebs, or the Manticore Arms NightBrake. The Nightbrake seems to have good reviews saying it is as good as or better than the AK74 style brake (as well as smaller/lighter).

So my question here is twofold:
Anyone with personal experience with the NightBrake?
Any other 24mm brakes I should be looking at?

Thanks
 
Man, I knew 24mm brakes weren't that popular, but jeez. :p

Here are two good comparison videos of the Manticore vs AK74 style for anyone who is interested:

I've decided that I am going to definitely replace my Israeli made Mako pistol grip with a US made Hogue grip, and replace the Bulgarian piston with either the Arsenal US made piston or the Krebs Customs piston. At that point I will for sure be allowed to use my Bulgarian (and other foreign made magazines) with no 922(r) issues (yay, I can finally get rid of my Tapcos).

I may just pick up the Nighbrake anyway, just to see for myself if it is any good. It might not be worth the $50 for virtually no performance benefit, but I like trying out US made stuff.
If anyone can think of any other 24mm brakes that are out there, feel free to let me know.
Also, if anyone knows any shops that will re-thread the 24mm bushing down to 5/8inch concentric to the bore (you guessed it: suppressor capable brake), that would also be appreciated.
