Most people buy them when their power levels get too high to maintain reliability in the stock unit when they race them. If you have a DD and don't race, stick with the stock aluminum piece. If you have a steel one, find a used aluminum shaft or spend the dough for a carbon fiber unit as suggested earlier.
