Yeah, I have them.
Other than the price increase, I don't really know the difference.
Fit and finish is decent, but I still don't like the cheap foam weather strip that sits between the housing and the fender.

It's not a daily driver, so I can't really comment on the beam pattern as it still doesn't get dark until 9pm here in the south.

Was it worth the price....that's debatable. Definitely gives the front end a refresh and shaves a few years off the car. IMHO, price should really be around $450-500. I bought a similar set for my 2004 Mazdaspeed MX5 for around $300. At that price I could live with the aftermarket quality. On the Porsche, not so much.
