LUK vs SPEC clutch

Hey m3post! I'm looking to get some input on a topic that's been beaten to death on this page. Clutch kits!

I have an '08 6 speed ESS stage 1 M3. I daily the car in the summer so I'm not interested in a performance race kit. I would like a street-able clutch that can handle the power of the ESS kit.

With that being said I have narrowed my search down to 2 options:

1. SPEC twin disc clutch kit with steel flywheel. Part number: SB93SST
This kit is available for approx $1600-$1700 on eBay.

2. Piece together LUK kit with Dual mass flywheel part number: 415045310 approx $550 with shipping from UK . LUK clutch kit: 03-102 approx $340. Totaling $900 or so.

I'm posting to get some feedback on this potential LUK kit with the DMF. is anyone running set up? Is paying the extra $700 for the SPEC justifiable? Not trying to do a clutch job twice. Are there any other options I missed?

P.S.: looking to change the clutch because I believe mine is affected with the weak pressure plate issue

Thank you in advance!
