I'm a bit confused at what is 'out of round' in the video, since the teeth are stationary. Do you believe it to be the freewheel internals, and not his hub, or axle, or something else? Do you have a video which compares that to a cheaper freewheel?
It is good that your $20 freewheels have lasted so long. However, if I had a preference for WI freewheels (for any reason), the variation I see in that video wouldn't give me very much pause against them.
