To me, the price of the Canon adapter doesn't make any sense - they charge that much because they can. I both one from Commlite for $40 (at Amazon) and it works perfectly well - even with a 70-200 f2.8L IS lens (supported via the lens).

It makes sense to me. Mine's over five years old and apart from a bit of paint at the bottom edges of the tripod socket, as good as new. Cheap substitutes become expensive if they don't last. Remember Ruskin's thought; “There is hardly anything in the world that someone cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price alone are that person’s lawful prey. It’s unwise to pay too much, but it’s worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money — that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot — it can’t be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.”
