Brake Master Cylinder and Pedal box from MK

Does anybody know what you get for your money with this item from MK?

Brake master cylinder dual circuit c/w reservoir Ea £88.13

It says Ea which worries me, as it implies you need 2, is their standard pedal setup for a bias'ed system?

Its also dual circuit, so if it is designed for only one M/C to run both front/back then I'll need a splitter on both, I thought the front normally had an outlet each, the rear being split. This again points to it being a bias'ed system.

The reason I ask is that I've found some el'cheapo M/C on eBay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7996106432 and would love to use them (or it) with a remote reservoir(r) if possible with the standard MK pedal setup.

What do MK give you, and could I (easily) use the eBay one or ones instead? (also what bore size on the eBay ones should I get, Sierra discs front/rear).

Whilst I've no issue buying stuff from MK, paying £196 for 2 M/C rather than £38 would seem a bit silly.

Advice appreciated.

So the new (MK) master cylinder is purely a replacement for a Sierra one, nothing more complicated?
