Do you have a link to that? I'd buy a 5' spark coil for $200 any day!

Yeah.. no. For that cost you can probably build Steve Ward's QCW gun :/

Its up to you, you wont get the large arcs you want from the plasma speaker, you can get the advanced and or the xenosonic modulator for the microbrute as well which adds a bit of fun to the mix.

It will require tuning though and you will need a scope.

i didnt tune mine with a scope, you can do it by ear and sight.
You can do it just by moving the primary tap, try it out, repeat. Probably won't ever get it perfect, but near enough. Scope will help a lot though if you have one.
Note though that the topload will change it's resonant frequency, so have the one you wanna use on before you start, or you'll throw off your tuning adding it later. Even on my coil, using a screwdriver instead of a nail would cause a noticeable decrease in spark length.

May have to try one of those next then. I can borrow a scope from work. Would like to step it up a notch from this one and also get a small audio modulated one.

Tired of my SSTC yet? Added some more things to it today.
New switch so I can leave it plugged in and just turn it on when I want.
Fixed my issue with the floppy antenna and coiled it around an acrylic rod.
Oh yeah and there is an LED under said rod
Waiting on my breakout spike from Fiddy next. Currently just using a sharpened roofing nail.
