Anyone with Experience buying from YaHobby?

I've been on the hunt for the Takara MP-15 and MP-16 sets, the latter being seemingly much rarer and much more expensive on the secondary market. I looked around some of the Seibertron.com sponsor sites featured and finally found both sets, allegedly in stock, for a good price ($80 each), but not the sort of rock-bottom prices found with the knock offs on eBay. After searching around the internet for some more information about YaHobby's reputation, I've come up with some rather mixed reviews and feelings. Some people have said they've had no problems at all, others have had all sorts of issues with getting their orders properly fulfilled. My main concern is that what I will get from them is authentic and NOT just a knock off version at an inflated price. I think the site is based out of Hong Kong/China. Most of the knock off products sold on eBay seem to come out of China, so I am more hesitant because of that. However, I know YaHobby is a site sponsor here and featured pretty regularly in the news page when they get new product or preorders in. So, fellow Seibertronians, what say you about the reputation of YaHobby? Any information or advice will be very much appreciated!
