Are these things worth the $90?

Look for forum vendors that have harnesses with the CTS 550k pots, those things are the Cadillac of volume pots.
Jonesy and MSSC both cary harnesses with them, the taper on those pots are smooth, no massive jump from 8-10.
What's the difference between 500k and 550k?
Not all CTS pots are made the same. CTS makes pots for many different vendors. They are all made to that specific vendors specs and vary in quality. Some are 20-30% tolerance some are 10% other are 5%. Many are 500K but there are some that are built to 550K specs. The types of tapers vary,(linear, audio, AB etc.) many have a sudden volume jump from 10-8 other have a smooth taper from 10-0. Some have silk screened tracks other have the better made carbon tracks. Some CTS pots have Zinc cast threads others have Brass threads and brass shafts. So just because it says CTS on it does not mean it will be just like another CTS pot.

Fwiw- I have bought 3 harness' from mojotone as well as some other brands. The mojotone is good.stuf. Great bang for the buck.
And what were the other brands? Cheaper?
