440Source vs. alternatives

[375instroke]

For those who don't like 440Source, for whatever reason, what are the alternatives, their quality, their price, and their customer service?  How are the parts you are recommending better?

440Source prices
Crank:          $599
Rods:           $429
Pistons:        $549

or kit price:  $1499

With all the crap 440Source gets, and I get only one reply for alternatives.  WTF.

Here is what my motor builder says "I have used and measured Eagle,K1 and 440 Source. They all come from the same offshore forging plant. The sizes and finish are the same on all of them. "
