Thanks to David (Snapper), who decided he didn't like them under his Linn Keltiks, I use the same supports under the Atacama stands of my Ditton 15XRs.
They made quite a difference (as, in my experience, Mana always does) when I installed them, tightening and extending the bass, and improving overall clarity - basically, by allowing the speakers to behave optimally as designed, through them interacting less with the room
As for pricing them 'optimistically', the original retail price I think was around £250, and as they are long discontinued and very hard to find now (simply because most people who own them wouldn't part with them), I think that the price is fair.
