Definitely way better priced than a lot of the afermarket stuff, I totally agree. Plus, staying with stock GM that you can get at any stealership is really a good idea in general. However, even that kit is nearly $700 with the harmonic balancer though. Compare that to "free" (using the accessory drive you already have) and that's a lot of scratch you could use to buy headers or something.

If I didn't have an accessory drive (crate engine or what-have-you) the Vette drive would be high on my list. The high mount alternator is kind of fugly though. Not sure If I could get past that. On the other hand, my AC is high on my build and I got past that. Price and form/function over looks is usually my route.

Just for reference, here's the notch I had to take out. This should help with a decision either way.
