Bipod mount -- Acra (Swiss) or Anschutz Accessory rail mount

I have purchased a G5LE chassis from PDC Custom for my CZ-457 which should arrive in another week. It includes an Arca and Anschutz rail for mounting items under the barrel (bipods, slings, etc.). Today I have a cheap-o $15 bipod mounted under CZ via the sling swivel mount. For the new chassis, it seems as though I have 2 options.
  1. Harris Bipod No. 6 Adapter
  2. Area419's Acralock Clamp
#1 is the least expensive and allows me to use my existing cheap-o bipod. #2 (the only Arca solution I could find) is purpose built for a Harris Bipod. I don't mind buying a new bi-pod. :) Are there other options for these two mounts?

On the Atlas Bipod site, their big comparison chart lists a couple of models having ARCA mounting (I think using another Area419 adaptor).

I really like the ARCA mounts. I bought an Area 419 due to not doing my due diligence...it's nothing special TBH. It can be bought off Amazon at a substantial discount. That said, it may require a bit customization. So ~$200 for a rail/mount from 419 or ~$50 for one from Amazon and 20 minutes of time on the drill press. My next one will not have a giant logo stamped on it.
