Default Help with alloys header tanks

I'm looking for a new alloy header tank for my car but can't decide which to get. I've seen one by AS for £125 but not sure if that includes a chrome cap. Does anyone know if the bailey one includes a chrome cap?

I've looked on the AS website and it's £125 then another £25 for the chrome cap. I didn't know the bailey one wasn't that good.
