Swamps E-fuel kit?

Has anyone used the Swamps E-fuel kit? I am ready to pull the trigger on an E-fuel system and like the look of the Swamps but can find no reviews from anybody that has used it. DieselSite has a nice one but its much more expensive. The one from Beans has a lot of good reviews but I don't like that the filter heads are plastic. Marty's has a nice one too but it is also quite a bit more than Swamps. Has anybody used the Swamps?
I want to buy a kit because I don't have enough knowledge on these systems to piece one together. I'd rather buy a kit that is ready to go.

I'm not familiar with it but doubt there is anything bad from such a widely known company.

I've heard the Irate kit doesn't come with any instructions which is a tad nerve wracking. Of course that might be the case with Swamps too. The Beans supposedly comes with solid instructions. It's those plastic filter heads that have me second guessing it...

On my 96 mule about six or so years ago I bought Swamps first e fuel kit he sold. Its still working good except the wiring safety backup quit and he didn't notify me about a upgraded part for it. I didn't think much of his customer service. It stranded me on a freeway and I had to hot wire the pump to get going again.

Irate does have a nice kit. And yes it didn't have the best instructions, that was two years ago now so maybe it got better? Comes with quality parts for a reasonable price.
