I am willing to pay a higher premium for higher quality and that is a personal choice. Some people are not and that is totally fine. My main car is an Awesomatix and parts are even more expensive than X-ray.
And I've never had to ream X-ray arms or anyone else that I've known locally. This goes for my XB4 too. The shocks on my D06 were not as good as my X-ray. But guess what, the X-ray shocks are not even as good as my Tamiya 418/Kyosho velvet shocks.
