Replacement Diverter Valve

I'm running 10# of boost on my Vortech S Trim and still using the stock Bosch diverter valve. I've been reading about upgraded diverter valves from the Euro turbo crowd that are made by Bailey and Forge. Anybody running these with success? Package sizes are very close to the Bosch valve and inlet/outlet sizes are the same.

Doesn't look like anyone uses these things but I'm interested too. My Vortech supplied Bosch unit is 4 or 5 years old and never replaced. With that little rubber diaphram in there it must be in need of replacement by now. That Bailey's unit looks sweet but I wonder if the $150 is worth it compared to replacing the Bosch unit for under $50? Even if I am just running 6#s of boost

The newest Bailey's DV holds 60 psi; much more than I need! Looks like there's an older model for $130; don't know if the improvements were just to hold more boost or not?
