I too bought mine from them and it's exactly as described, no trouble with fitting, and the only problem i faced was a little clutch chatter, which apparently is just luck of the draw. I don't know what price they are at, at the moment, but i also bought mine for £163 or something including postage, which was loads cheaper than the rest.

Edit - getting parts from them also seems to be luck of the draw, mine turned out okay, but there are some pretty bad reports on them.

I heard bad reports of the company, I chose to ignore and bought anyway, what a mistake, it was a solid mass conversion for a mondeo mk3 diesel, was soposed to be a Valeo unit, it came looked like chocolate and was certainly not Veleo, I had weeks of messing about to get a refund after the promised to so send the correct unit out and didn't, the customer service is terrible and they lie to you over the phone!! few people I know since uses then for paddle clutches and they went though 3 units within 6 months, don't mean to put you off but google the company there are some bad reviews out there too....
