Although I haven't seen the Stillen sc laid out, from what I can tell it's far less complex as to the number of components. For a DD that for me would be a plus for Stillen

I disagree with using the number of parts in a kit to judge reliability. It's far better to look at a company's track record and reputation for quality in their products, IMO.
