How is this kegging kit? Is the taprite worth it?

I'm about to pull the trigger on this kit:

Anyone have experience with it?

My other question: Is the taprite worth the $15 price difference over the standard regulator?

I bought the one tap kit from the same site and I am happy with it. I should have went with the two tap, just bought a co2 splitter today

I haven't used Taprite or the cheaper ones they have but the cheap regulators I got from Midwest are garbage compared to the Cornelius regulators I use now.

Very happy with Taprite regulators

Can you give some detail about the issues you had with cheaper regulators?

I also added the 15$ for the taprite regulator and it's doing its job, no issues.

The pressure would creep up. One didn't work at all and Midwest replaced it. I don't think either one work anymore. After using good ones I'd never even bother with those cheapos again.

I don't know if the ones Birdman sales are bad but I do think is worth $15 bucks more for quality.

I would go with the taprite because down the road when you need to rebuild it you know you can get parts. With a regulator you can't get parts for it's trash. So for 10 to 15$ it cost to rebuild the taprite or have to buy a new regulator 50 to 70$ it's up to you.
