In all honesty, I believe yes, they do. If you take ease of use and installation into consideration. Factor in that they only oil when in motion and never on tickover as they are controlled by 3 axis accellerometer. Its also possible to adjust the flow rate and even the point at which oiling begins right there on the digital display. They have an on board temp sensor and an oil level indicator as well. Oh, and they look cool.

I have had a few Vsystems over the years and they are very good, I do consider though that the convienience and extra functionallity of the esystem makes it worth the added cost.

We shall see.
