Rear main seal kit

Has anyone had experience with the 1275 rear main seal kit offered by Moss and MiniMania? It's kind of pricy and I'd like to hear of someone's experience before I invest in one.

Gerard sells one. I have no experience with it, but he claims it is much improved over the Minimania version.

Read Gerard's site however, his or anybody elses for that matter won't cure or stop an engine that creates excessive internal pressure from blow by etc etc.. This is a better setup than the OEM system..but not full proof..
Add this for discussion.. I don't think many modern cars run at 50-60 lb.s of pressure.. this and the fact that the rear main probably gets most all of the 60lb. pressure is why the rear seal is so vexing.
