408 Scat Stroker Kits

How do you guys like the Scat 408 cast crank rotating assemblies? I'm thinking of throwing together a "semi-budget" 408 shortblock and have begun pricing out kits.

Are the Scat cast crank kits with Icon 745 pistons worth a crap? $1,500 for a balanced rotating assembly seems pretty inexpensive. Are there any corners cut with these?
