Diamond-style subframe connectors

Has anyone tried this?

More importantly, anyone want to make a set for me? $300

I'm in Dayton, OH if you want to use my car for measurements, etc..

Here are the Comp Engineering's connectors, which they don't call a double diamond (unless they just came out and aren't on the site); it's really just more of a perimeter plus more boxing to the front subframe:

S&W's subrame connectors are kinda like "diamond"-style but without perimeter bars(meaning that their design doesn't have rocker-length rails), also much like Alstons only with branches out to the rockers. I have them and the car feels awesome. Later I'm going to add Spohns to my car as well; I will have to cut off the ends of the side branches on the S&Ws to slip the Spohns up onto the floor, then I will have sort of a double-diamond style setup.

Here are the S&Ws:

On my car, pic at bottom:

And some I haven't seen on a car yet, should be interesting though. Made by Pro Fab Racing, who makes K-members and whatnot. Probably the closest to a true double-diamond design:
