Arrow Cheap Bov's

Ok obviously theyre cheap for a reason and somethign with a brand name that costs 5x as much will perform better, but exactly what can go wrong with them? Will they simply leak or have they been known to fail to open? Im thinkign of buyign a knockoff HKS for the time being till i can buy a real ssqv (since i can just keep the flange) but wanna make sure its not gonna cost me money in the end.
