Any experience with Elgin Stainless Roller Rockers?

While reading this thread, which started to drift into a discussion about various roller rockers, I wanted to ask about Elgin's, but didn't want to take that thread further off topic.

So, does anyone have any experience with their stainless roller rockers?

While they are not a household name like a Crane, Comp, Harland Sharp or Scorpion, Elgin is a major parts manufacturer here in the States. I would presume that these are of good quality, and made here, but you know what that gets you.

I will say that while they are not spending money making their name know through NASCAR, NHRA, having a traveling event trailer at major car shows, etc., they pass those dollars saved on in the price of the item.

I favor them slightly as they are from my old home state. But if there is something sketchy about them, I'd be happy to spend more for a good brand name. But if they are just as good, that's a hundred dollars I can spend somewhere else.
