I hear what you're saying and that's why I made the post to see if they just suck at marketing and guys have had success with them, or it is what it is and thus why there isn't much info out there on them. I've always been a bang for the buck guy so don't need premiuim but certainly dont want a piece of junk for that kind of money.
Looks like the tbac ultra 5 would be an easy choice although expensive.
Any other suggestions to consider???
look at YHM Resonator. I run one with great results and is affordable. Paid 525 for mine.
