My concerns:

Testing in real life. Sometimes what sounds good in theory turns out to be not so good when subjected to the variety of conditions that we subject our cars to. Give us a couple of dozen cars and a couple of years and then we'll know more.

The source of the oil. Is this the optimum place for the oil to be taken from and does it affect the area that the oil was originally intended to lubricate. Quantification please.

The filtration of the oil. You are taking oil from an area where it isn't just filtered and dumping any debris at all into the bearing can cause problems.

That others tried the same solution 4+ years ago and detected problems and went in other directions.

The installation and support which depends on a network of experienced, trained installers...or does it.

That they suggest it is OK to reuse a bearing that already has an unknown number of revolutions on it and which is known to not be of the best quality. Given the labor cost, why not put in a better bearing?

That they don't include in the kit strengthened/improved parts but reuse or use ones that other kit makes say fail.

I didn't attend BRBS so I don't know how those concerns would be answered.

Time will tell.
