Anyone using micron dies?

Does anyone have experience with the micron precision sizing dies? I noticed bullet central recently released sizing mandrels for them, which Luke from BC said it'd work like a SAC die in that it'd undersize the neck with the bushing and get final neck tension from the mandrel. At $330 for the die and the mandrel, it sounds like it'd be a good competitor for the SAC MSD's!
 
I use their bushing die for my competition rifles in a straight 284. I use 21st Century mandrels after the sizing. Runout is non-existent, and SD's in the low single digits.

They look well made. I saw one or 2 threads where someone may have had QC issues and maybe the inside wasnt polished, but on other forums they seemed G2G. With them having a mandrel i can put in now, i feel that'll streamline things a lot because i originally looked at one of these and mandrel with a 21st century mandrel die.
 
I have the gt, cm, prc, wsm and Norma improved dies in the micron line. They're great.
 
The guys at bullet central said it performs a very similar process to the SAC die, being a bushing and mandrel die. At a lower price, I’m sold
