I like the OME brand also however the stone shield on the original set cracked and bounced around by the time I got from Melb to the Kimberley. ARB warranted them and I run BP51's now. I guess my only comment is they dont last forever and going for a brand that is serviceable is probably worth the extra cost. I ran Koni's for a long time and they were straight hydraulic, but valving got a birthday after all the adjustment notches were utilised and they came back great. I have done a tour of the Dobinson refurb clean room in Dandenong Vic and they are onto the quality, unsure of the life though of the brand.
