Default Taking the plunge! 883-1200 kit advice needed

I'm going to convert my 883 to a 1200 but I need some advice. Should I spend the dough and get the SE kit or are there other options that are just as good or better out there? I know Licks Cycles has a kit thats half the price, but i'm not going to cheap out on such an important part of my build.

Please give me some insight on whats best as far as this goes.

Yes, there are better kits. NHRS or Zippers are two of the best if I were going to list just two, plus there are more.

the zippers kit is over 2k. I'm not going to pay that much when i've seen them for 5-700. Also the NHRS kit isn't made for 2010 models. Anyone else have any suggestions?
