I think you are making a good purchase for the money. The sound is much better on these timbales. The only cons I've found with the timbales is the stand. It does not feel as good as the other brand.
Also, Pearl tried to make the stand sturdy that the"mechanisms" they have to make sure the height of the stand is maintained is actually very hard to handle when you try to slide them. Have put some muscle into it. (This I personally tried to show to the Pearl person in Nashville that although it has good intentions is too hard to handle and maybe make them easier to handle but.....I've had a couple of mishaps in my hands while trying to slide the mechanisms of the stand...ouch!).
