Default Ceramics. Are they worth the $? Do they last?

So, I'm seriously considering picking up This set of ceramics from Boca. It states that they are "maintenance free and lubed for life" how true is this statement? Can a bearing REALLY be maintenance free? I drove a friends MBX6 with full ceramics in it and there were parts of the track when I could just use momentum to carry it over a double where my car required a quick blip of the throttle. I couldn't believe how smooth and frictionless (it seemed anyway) the car was. I would just hate to spend the $ on bearings that'll be toast in a month.

Let's hear your opinions on it!

Thanks!
