I'm curious how accurate the timing is on the Chinese versions and if the timing curves are the same as the Dyna. 
Quality control is the main issue on cheap parts, so you're taking a gamble that you will get a usable one. For a $150 difference it doesn't seem like significant savings to me, but I guess the motorcycle crowd is known for being cheap bastards frugal, so if it works, it works.

"I guess" is the clearly pertinent part of your post.
