I do not have a CK headset on any of my current bikes, but I have had one on a bike (lost to a thief) in the past. They truly are a piece of fantastic engineering. What I really appreciated about them was the reliability (install and forget). Really a good piece of equipment that is well designed and manufactured.
Are they worth the money? Unequivocally yes, in my opinion.
