Default Pubkegs?

Has anyone used these pubkegs from Sabco? They're corny kegs converted to American Sankey.

http://www.kegs.com/pubkegs.html

Since I already have a standard beer-meister system with an american sankey hookup, I thought this would be a nice alternative to corny kegs.

The only disadvantages I can see are:

1) special tools - according to their site "Homebrewers should be aware that special tools are required for valve removal, as with other single entry kegs" - not sure what this entails
2) multi-keg system upgrade - if, ney, when I upgrade to multiple kegs, I'd have to buy a Sankey hookup for each tap - not sure how much these compared to the attachments needed for corny kegs

This is a much more expensive approach than using standard cornies and they are very difficult to clean without the correct equipment. Get a couple quick disconnects & splice them into your lines, so you can switch between Sanke and cornie.
