Anyone tried the Glanze parting tools from Chronos?

item 21.
The other option for a small lathe seems to be the Q-cut from Greenwood,
http://www.greenwood-tools.co.uk/ishop/728/shopscr23.html
but that's more than twice the price at £50 :(
Any recommendations, other suggestions?
Ta.
BTW, I just had to make a complex part from Inconel, and as I only have one bit of stock the right size I decided to make a test piece from ally first. Wow! It was so easy .. 0.01 mm? peasy, go for a micron .. I'd forgotten what machining ally and even mild steel is like after struggling with stainless, copper and superalloys all the time.
