Default Any advantage with polyurethane bushings in Camber Kits?

Ok so I was going to get the Pro Plus series Camber kit from skunk2, but that would bring me to a delay of over 3 weeks, since none are instock, and they wont express **** them from the USA so im stuck with the Pro Series camber kit from skunk2. Pro series is an improvement over the Tuner series, since it includes the one-piece forged Pro-Series balljoint found int he pro plus series, however it does not have the polyurethane bushings found in the pro plus series... Is it worth the extra 80 bucks to get the polyurethane bushings and wait over 3 weeks, or should I go ahead with the pro series?

Watch out!! These have a tendency to slip. I have had 2 sets go out on me, the hardware is just too weak to hold ball joint in place. Look at the Megan Racing Upper Control Arms, they have a whole new design and the fasteners are much more sturdy.
