The prices on "cheap" chains are often too good to be true and you can gauge that for yourself. However, researching the manufacturer will give you a better idea of the QC than the price they sell their products for (try Googling "Volar Motorsports" chains and see what you find).
I think most people here talking bad about these chains are taking my reported experiences out of context. My troubles were almost certainly attributable to installation error by so-called professionals. Also, even if they once made bad chains, they changed suppliers and told me that one of the other brands you mentioned now makes their chains.
