Default Chinese Electrics...?

Just wanted to start a discussion about this, as I've been looking at loads of stuff on ebay recently.

Due to me being skint and trying to spend as little as possible, when I was looking for a balance charger for lipo, I came across this...

Specs are exactly the same as a Core RC charger, even the screen layout is identical. So I bought one. Seems like a good charger, balances fine, even resurrected an old NiCd that wouldn't charge on my old charger.

Also, when I was looking at getting a cheap brushless system, I avoided the Hobbywing EZ-Run, cos I wasn't sure about the quality (and cos it wasn't sensored), but then I bought an Orion Vortex, which is apparently made by Hobbywing anyway.

So what about lipos I thought...

And I found this...

Question is: is that any good? Going by the specs (35C, 5200) it looks great, but what downsides are there? All I can think of is that it isn't BRCA legal, but I doubt I'm gonna enter any regionals/nationals, and that if I ever try and sell it, no-one will buy it, as they don't recognise it.

Any thoughts?
