Ground Control vs. Alloy/Spohn Strut Mounts?????

Has anyone got any experience with the ground control Caster Camber Plates? The ones that insert into the stock strut mount housing. How do these compare vs the Spohn and Hunter motorsports versions? I imagine that they offer some additional adjustment over the others...but is it something that is useful?
Has anyone had any problems with either type?

I had to make this choice a few weeks ago and here's what I came up with. The spohn units are an easy R&R swap and you don't have to do any fabbing/cutting/burning to make them work, but they are $350.

The GC units are $225 but rewuire you to do a lot of work to your old strut mounts to make them work with the GC units. You have to burn out the old rubber, cutout the sportwelds, breaking the stock mounts into two pieces attach the GC units, weld the mounts back up. That would have been a little more work that I had time to do so I just went with the Spohn units and swapped therm out in 15 minutes and then got it aligned.
