To be honest, I'm sure a lot of them will be pretty poor, at the end of the day the cheap ones are a reservoir full of oil and you just open the valve enough to drip the oil at the required rate, the valves will be proper cheap rubbish. You need the vacuum or electronically controlled ones to get the right flow, but you're stuck paying the higher costs for these.

I just go for chain wax and an increased replacement rate :)

I'm sure ride reviewed a load about a year ago, if anyone has back issues it might be worth a look and a scan.

Having looked at the bank balance with ten days till payday its 'use the last of the gooey crap, then onto white grease and continue to dream about Falco upgrades, Im £275 overdrawn, had to buy a new ECU and a battery for the laptop,tonight decided to feed the cat and dog rather than self as this is the last of the cash.
Not a very good situation for some one employed full time ! Breaks my heart knowing I really have to sell the bike, angers me that I researched my employers Operating Profit was a mere £670 million and claims they cannot afford to pay me anything near what is now recognised as a living wage.
Sorry for the rant
