Default Choosing A Tamalera

Anyone have advice on choosing a tamalera? This is
the big pot used to steam tamales. The simplest
type have a perforated plate held a few inches above
the bottom. More complex ones seem to have a set
of sections, so that multiple layers can be steamed
at once. Also, I've seen a type that has an insert
which divides the space into three radial sections,
to help hold the tamales standing upright. I probably
want the largest size that will fit over my one
remaining functional burner on my gas stovetop.
