85mm Filter Holders?

I'm looking to buy a good 85mm filter holder. Is the Hitech the only real option?

(needs to be able to take a CPL)

The Cokin P square filter system are also 85mm. I've always used them and have never had any problems. There is a slim slot nearest to the lens on a Cokin P holder which is where a slot in CPL can be fitted and rotated.
 
Thanks Steve. It's just the holder (and a descent CPL that fits) that I need. The Missus has a nice selection of 85mm Firecrest ND's which I want to use as well.

Do you have the CPL for the Cokin system? Is it any good?

No problem. Yeah, I've got the Cokin CPL and it's always been fine. Once it's clipped into the holder it's secure and easy to rotate although it's worth keeping one finger on the holder itself so that doesn't rotate with the CPL. After a bit of use the slot in the holder loosens up a bit then it's fine.
