FVD Brombacher IMS Bearing - Does Anyone Have Experience With This Bearing?

I thought I knew all the IMS bearing replacements but I recently came across a replacement that I had never heard of before: the FVD Brombacher version which looks very impressive. It is a dual row (for the dual row cars) ceramic bearing for only $400!

Does anyone have this bearing or know anything about it?

This is not a ceramic hybrid bearing, it is a simple steel ball bearing replacement not unlike the one Pelican sells for $190. They do offer a ceramic version, but for more money.
