I hate to do this. But I waited 2 weeks for my kit and have been happy with it. It was 46bux shipped at the time. Now its cheaper. ~33bux

It has worked out very nicely. I bought some high amp 100a mosfets for it from e-bay as well. I have not upgraded to the beefier mosfets just yet and have about 100 hours of print time on my printer. I will be upgrading the mosfets as well as beefing up the traces with solid copper wire as well once I have mine out. I also plan on installing a 30a automotive fuse for the heated bed and a 10a fuse for the rest. However that will come down the line. Also some heat sinks will make their way onto the new fets.
For me the price difference was worth the wait.
I actually have my eye on that same kit (think you referred to it in another post) for future builds but for right now I just missed the next day shipping option and I'm already feeling anxiety lol.
I also planned to upgrade my Sainsmart controller to better mosfets but it failed during testing and I had the bed turned on for intervals of no longer then 30-45 seconds. As far as beefing up the traces, at that point I really do see the extra money for the mega controller as worth it.
Right now I'm leaning towards the mega controller since reliability means more then the vanity of a nice LCD screen.
