Ok, I see your point, I am personally looking at taking a pair of cast steel heads from 1974, replacing every moving part, guide, seal and such, then porting them to make it more respectable than a honda.
At this point for my self and many others, the 300 difference to get these over my stock heads is already a stretch. I can tell you that if I tell my wife that I am spending 1300+ on a set of heads and heads alone, she would probally die right there. This is not to say she wears the pants, but thats a lot of jack.
These head are like they stated, apples to oranges when compared to trick flow or afrs but even the afr people say they are a GOOD CHEAP head. (remember the saying, cheap, fast, reliable--pick two). Seems you will get a good product for the price but they are by no means top of the line for quality or performance.
