Default Dewitt cooling fans. Worth it?

Looking at the Dewitt colling fans. Dewitt claims these double the output of factory fans. Does anyone have experience with these? Thinking about doing these along with the radiator.

I had the same question when I got my full size radiator with built in oil cooler. I ended up trying the stock fans first and they've worked great and I haven't seen the need to upgrade. Car runs same temp at slow speeds vs highway, and climate wise this is in Florida. I'm sure the dewitts ones are great and even better, but stock ones work fine too.

I would say yes... the factory wiring failed at one point on my car and I lost one of the fans and I noticed the car got a little warmer than usual but still didn't get anywhere near overheating... if I was on stock fans and only had one working I'm sure it would have been much worse
