KV Samet drawer slides?

KV now offers cabinet hardware built by Samet, a company in Turkey. The drawer slides look like a lower cost alternative to Blum. Has anybody tried them?

I have not tried them, but will be interested in comments. I really like their standard slides.

For my current project I was going to get Blum again, but Rockler only had 4 slides and I needed 6. Since this is my personal piece, I decided to try the Rockler branded undermount drawer slides. With discount, it saved me almost 80 bucks, so... Overall they seem well built, operate smoothly and about the only beef I have with them is the front attachment seems to be made for 5/8" material, so I'll need to shim my 1/2" drawer boxes. Not sure what mornon thought that was a good idea, but it's an easy enough fix.
