Post Willwood or HiSpec ??

I am going to treat my other project to a brake upgrade but was looking for advice on what to buy. I have been looking at either the Willwood 4 pot setup or the Hi-Spec 4 pot both to fit under 15" rims. The Hi-Spec @ £649 comes with callipers, pads disks, bells & hoses where the Willwood does not come with hoses or pads but @ £460. I already have goodridge hoses to fit. Does anyone have any experience of these two systems or perhaps a difference in braking performance or any problems with the kits them selves that would help my make my decision. I was thinking who has been making brakes the longest but from my memory both companies have been in the business for a fair few number of years.

Willwoods dont have dust covers over the pistons iirc. They are prone to seizing. £649 is Ksport money too.
