Those were previously called dominion and I think they are about the same as the old batten heads (available for BBC & SBC)...the major drawback is an empty wallet and not much performance gain, at least I haven't seen an article prove what they can do that a set of normal style good heads can't.
I almost bought a pair of those heads a couple of months ago on ebay germany but someone outbid me...I don't think I really regret it though.

There's a lot more to engines than the parts as individual parts. Switching to a 32-valve setup will allow you to breath more efficiently -- but it won't make anything happen if the rest of the setup isn't ready to breath better.

Barry Grant has a new 3 valve ( 2 intake and 1 exhaust ) cylinder head, would be interesting to see how this one stacks up
