And if you could review these, it would be appreciated. I see them on the website, and on the World Champion Cyfac, but I've never seen a review.
I believe that the Stronglight tandem cranks are the same as the Strongliht Impact single-bike cranks, just with the crank arms drilled differently to allow for the left-side timing chain. So, find a review of the regular Impact cranks, and you're all set.

If you want to buy the Ultegra cranks from the Netherlands, then I'd get them from ChainReactionCycles in the UK, see here and here.
