Price is a factor. I look at what I want, then I look at the price and make a value-conscious decision. This will vary between people; I have no issue throwing down $7-8K for a Full Blown GTX28 kit when I can afford it, but is that the best choice? Is this kit at half the price of a Full Blown kit with upgrades worth it? I get what you're saying, but I'm saying price is going to be a factor for most people.

Yup. It should be at least grade what, 8.8? All the shit on my car is grade 10.9 anyway. Do I need that much yield strength? No. Do I want that much yield strength? Yes.
