Depends what you do.
If you haul regular 80k box freight and run a 1650tq engine, a 1650 rated clutch would be fine, and about that price. If you are paying someone to do this job for you, upgrading to an 1850tq clutch might sound like overkill, however you would then remove the clutch as your "weak link", and it's also the biggest pain in the ass to fix if it does fail you. So only you can evaluate that for yourself, just another way to look at it.
Rawze got about a million miles out of his, and I believe his was a 1650tq rated, so if your really easy on equipment like he is, probably unnecessary.
I use Lipe high torque rated clutches because I haul very heavy and sometimes have to pull hard at low speeds in ugly conditions and this is where you can make a clutch slip or destroy them. If you do lots of stop n go with my clutch, your left leg would be twice the size of your right. An Eaton EasyPedal it is not.
I've got a buddy that got a clutch from those crazy French Canadian truck racers, and I don't think I could hold it for a long light...don't get one of those!
