The "El Cheapo" was the one sold by Tweeks for $27.95. On my stand, the small diameter tube press fit the ID of the engine stand. It may wooble a bit, but it held a fully dressed 2.5L carbed 4 with no problems .... just a little scarey when it wobbled though.
On eBay, there is a guy selling Porsche/VW engine cradles for about $200. Every once in a while he will put up an engine stand "adaptor" half ring for $69.00 (the same type that everyone else sells for $150 - $190). Only problem with it is it is not drilled for the bolts to hold it to the engine stand. About 20 mins with drill press and 3/8" tap ..... wella .... a $200 adaptor for a 4 arm engine stand.
