Intense lightweight pushrods

I have the opportunity to pick a set of these up for cheap brand new, what is the general consensus on these? I've seen a couple of posts to not get them but nothing concrete. These would be going in a topswap setup with rockers and 90# spring in it.
 




I'm not mad at them. ??? The rods or Intense. The guys at Intense have always been helpful and quick with shipping etc.

The pushrods though, do bend easier. When modding and spinning the motor faster, it's usually best to build a little extra safety in.

Hm, I probably invented my own reality. I do that. I thought I remembered you mentioning bending lightweight pushrods at some point.

More to the point, found an interesting quote: "They fill up with oil, so whatever weight you save on wall thickness will be filled with oil. Oil isn't nearly as rigid as chrome-moly. The NASCAR guys use huge 11/42- to 91/416-inch pushrods. They may be heavy, but they don't flex."
 
I'll check up on them after a while to see how they're doing. I'm not planning on building a ridiculous motor, stock rev limiter, stock cam, and rockers.
