I also got the Mike Guyver solution with the Kensington supply, for essentially the same reasons as RBJ (short on time). It has worked very well. Almost as important, the initial Magsafe cable seemed to have a week connection somewhere inside. I emailed him on Thursday and had a replacement in my mailbox on Saturday. Can't beat that service.
Also, if you already have a power supply with interchangable tips (iGo or Kensington) you could save a bundle by just buying the adapter cable and the appropriate tip (N2 for the Kensington). Cheaper yet, if you're adept at detailed soldering you could make it yourself per the instructions linked in ReeferJon's post. My soldering abilities stop with anything smaller than copper pipe so I opted for Guyver's solution.

PS - I opted for the Kensington vs iGo because I had an iGo when I used to be a road warrior and was never happy with it - poor connections in the cable attachements to the brick and lousy customer service.
