OK, netlanders, what's the scoop on memory upgrades?

I have a 'mature' 520 ST (Bought in April '86) which has the RF modulator,
TOS in ROM (1.0 11/20/85), reset button on the back, 512K, External disk
drive and power supplies.

I want to go up to AT LEAST 2.5 Meg

Which memory upgrade kit should I get?

I've heard conflicting stories regarding Tech Specialties ("Most reliable"
vs "Bad delivery/support").

I've seen the ads for Zubair's Z-RAM

I've read the (net) review of JRI.

I want to AVOID as much soldering/trace cutting/major surgery as possible
(not that I haven't done more than my share of hardware mods to various
computer systems/radios/industrial electronics, I'm just TIRED of HAVING to
do that :-) :-)

What's the net.wisdom?

Thank you for your support
