Shaft Mounted Rockers...need opinions

Hi Guys,
So I am getting all the parts ready for my 383 build up.
Should I go with the just regular roller rockers (Comp Cams Pro Magnums) or no name shaft mount roller rockers I found on EBAY:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

I know shaft mount rockers for well known brands start at around $400. Just wanted your opinions wether this is just overkill, or it's a good idea.

Thanks guys.

Tommy

well looking at the guys feedback he has some complaint regarding other parts quality. myself ive found that your truly get what you pay for. if your going for an all out drag engine then spend the bucks for good parts up front, for a street/strip deal a good qualtiy set of normal roller rockers will be fine in my opinion. i have used in the past crower stainless rockers without any issues in our 68 superstocker camaro. the biggest issue i have seen wioth cheap rockers is the ratio's are not the same in the set, meaning the distance form the pivot point to the roller tip is different, as is the distance between the pivot point and the pushrod cup.
