You're right, you don't really need masses of different holds - Dave MacLeod's got an interesting article on this somewhere on his website. Nevertheless if the Kong board has the same texture as all other resin boards it *will* trash your skin as you train - particularly on 1 and 2 finger hangs. Wood is so much kinder to your skin it's untrue. If you want something cheap, which happens to be unobtrusive and nice to train on, get a couple of campus rungs of different sizes. You can even file them down thinner when you get too strong
