No, never used any of these.
I would recommend, though, that you look at the care these knives need and compare them. How often do they need sharpened? They are probably not dishwasher safe, but is there any special care needed in washing them?
I have some friends with some high quality knives that spend alot of time after they are done cooking caring for their knives. Perhaps on of the sets you are looking at is a bit easier to care for? How is it recommended you sharpen them? Those sharpening poles are awfully ticky.
BTW, I use knives that come with sharpening sleeves every time you put them away, they are sharpened. These are not the highest quality, but I don't have to use the same level of care.
