I'm looking for a feature to put on a flat 12-13 degree home wall to add some variety to the single plane.
At the moment i'm looking at this:
http://www.motavationvolumes.com/...ucts/willy/wxxl.html
What i'm looking for is something that protrudes far enough from the wall to offer something of a multi dimensional climbing experience, has enough places for a variety of holds (up to big slopers), and is substantial enough to use for mantles or as a simulated arete for a move or two; but not so featured that it can be used as a positive hold or anything more than a sketchy foot if i haven't attatched one on route (if one of the corners is oriented up, it seems like it'll accomplish this nicely).
The shape is probably the best bet for what i'm looking for, and the size seems big enough without cluttering.
What i'm concerned about is the price and construction; i don't know these guys, and don't know if this is a good price.
I've seen features for far more, and the construction seems fantastic, so the price doesn't seem like too big a deal.
Anyone know if there's a better way to go about doing this? Are there better simple geometric features about this size out there that won't crush the bank?

I hadn't...
After reading the article, it looks just as complicated as i'd initially thought, but having a nice walkthrough like that is definitely making it more approachable.
As a bonus, i get a bit more flexibility-- just need to borrow a belt sander.
Thanks for the link, this is actually a huge help.

I'm sure you can get by without using a belt sander. 
...it's for a home wall, where cosmetics are less important than cost and function!
With some 50 to 100 grit sandpaper and just 10 minutes of elbow grease, you can pretty easily eliminate any sharp corners and potential splinters.
Where your safety glasses and watch your fingers!
