Default Are Garret turbos worth the money?

I am in the market for a twin turbo kit and am wondering if the garret GT series turbos with the cartridge bearing and water cooled center section are worth the extra money. What do you think?
Thanks Jim.

Think of it this way...

Garrett turbos(Honeywell/Allied signal) has there turbos on production cars for a reason. They are well built and can handle themselves very well. Water cooled increases performance and longevity.
