Their stuff might not be made in Japan but Tawaiian, but ultimately apexi would have strict q/a over the products. Most people don't know it but Tawaiian produces some of the top shit in the world, and China just produces shit.
Which one is worth the money? Something that has actual R&D behind it, or something that has pretty colors, good marketing and god knows where they came up with the specs from.
Personally I wouldn't spend more than $500 on anything that isn't from a reputable company, because in the end your just making some fool rich who didn't do shit in the first place except place the order.

True japanese products typically have more R&D and thats for customers that are willing to pay the premium.
I wouldn't stereotype everything out of china is crap, it just so happens that there is a market for parts that are more economical and the quality is good enough for many enthusiast's needs.
I own a set of JIC FLT-A2's and they were pricey, but with my other 240, I am willing to try a set of megans for the money with the decent reviews its been getting.
Just my opinion..
