Default flex-a-lite 490 dual cooling fan

Has anyone run a flex-a-lite 490 dual cooling fan setup? I have swapped my stock radiator for this big *** BeCool radiator. So I would like to get better cooling fans to combat the heat in Ga especially in city traffic stop n go scenerios. I'm seeing engine temps at 200-210 which is the norm even for my setup. This is only when I'm stop n go traffic which is a pain in the butt. But when I'm on highway/interstate cruising, the temps drop to about 180-190ish even on some of the hottest days here. It does good at keeping cool but I want to increase cooling efficiency especially for stop n go and staging lanes at the track. So any input on this flex-a-lite 490?http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FLX-490/

I found out for myself. These fans kick ***. It definately cools my car alot better. I let it idle for 30mins and the engine didnt run hot thanks to the new fans. Also, I performed several of stop n go traffic scenerios...same results as already mentioned. Not only it's more efficient...it's even lighter and it doesn't take up as much space. So if anyone is looking for a good aftermarket cooling fan setup, flex-a-lite 490 is one of them.
