Question Anyone actually using Powell Machine heads?

Trying to learn a little more about Powell Machine Inc 243 style heads. Messaged briefly with them tonight and sound like a pretty good price for what you get. They have thicker decks for boost at a reasonable price. Anybody have actual experience with these? If ya run'em, post up your opinions. Thanks.

They were $550 bare for a pair of them last I checked. Thick deck with better flow, but based on 243 castings.

Swap all of the parts over from your existing 243s and sell them bare for $250, will drop your overall cost to $300 for a pair of assembled heads.

How would they compare to a set of TFS220 as cast?
