Except for the number of other reasons like, they don't come with top mounts, and they aren't height adjustable, etc...
I am as frugal as they come, and like deals on used stuff, but I wouldn't buy the Ohlins. inverted Monos as we already know from the stockers are typically not ideal daily driver struts, and they will most likely make noise eventually which is one of Dan's complaints.
Tein Flexs are a good streetable daily driver option with a proven track record.
If you want to go cheap, get a set of the no-names that Jeramiah or others have gotten for about $1000. Grouppe-S had them last I knew.
EDIT: Damn, Scott and I must be channeling each other today, he just types faster than I do...
Give up Kevin... When is the last time Scott and I agreed on something like this to this level of detail? You can't win.
