Default C5/C6 Solid Motor mounts ?Thoughts?

I Need to change out the stock Motor mounts on My C5 I just hit 80k on it and Im sure there the originals but either way they are shot from the extra abuse my 500hp camed motor has been torquing on them. I was looking at the Pfadt mounts but there Kind of pricey and also a fairly new company Hinsen has some poly mounts out there are saposed to be more gentle on vibration, I dont care to much about that its my race car I want it to feel as mean as it looks and sounds and I dont want to feel the slop in my drive train through the shifter and in my sotp meeter anymore I will be putting in a new 3.90 geared diff soon too but I am looking for feedback from any of the LS motor guys that have run upgraded motor mounts and what they thought about the Vibrations? I am looking at these right now for the solid option.

I have the Pfadt motor mounts, trans brace and drive shaft in my car, in my opinion engine and drive line vibration are only noticeable at idle and then not much more than with the stock mounts.

If you get the Ultra mounts, don't get the solid metal, get the polyurethane. There have been several people who had the metal ones break.
