One-man rigging aids - is the electric up/down control worth it?

My homemade one has a manual tongue jack incorporated...shouldn't cost a tenth of that. Do you have any pictures? I've not got extensive workshop facilities but I'm not averse to a bit of DIY. I don't have any welding equipment (or skills!) so that might be a challenge.

Dear Paul:
I do have a photo, just e-mail me directly. The tongue jack section, sans wheel, is inserted in between the wing cuff and axles. It all breaks down by pulling clevis pins, so the individual sections aren't so heavy. It's steel, which gives it a lower cg, very hard to drop a wing. Almost re-did it aluminium before the light bulb came on!
