I have the VDI kit installed for almost a year now, and I have no regrets. I'm 6'2" and getting in & out is never a problem.
As far as those of you whining about them being "played out" I hardly think so given the compliments I get every time someone sees me pop the door and lift.
The key is to have them properly installed, and I strongly recommend against any universal kit as almost every "one size fits all" application rarely fits anything correctly. The VDI kit is specifically designed for the sky.
