More header questions

I asked part of this before but I need more info.

I read an article in HCI, Hot Compact and Imports, magazine about the Hedman Chikara Stepped Hedder with its Powerplus reversion chambers. The article claims: "...notable performance gains that are measurable, this award winning design appears to be a resounding success with those looking for the edge in a strong field of hot compacts and imports."

They go on to say: "To realize these often elusive improvements, the Powerplus headers offer many unique features, including stepped primary tubes that are, in part, key to the capability of this design, which incorporates two sizes of primary tubes. To expand on what was said earlier, the intent of this design is to improve the airflow at lower speeds while offsetting the effects of reversion, as well as backpressure at higher engine speeds. In back-to-back testing with competetive designs that do not incorporate the Hedman Chikara characteristics, this header showed marked improvements while broadening the torque curve."

Sound like B.S. or might be true?
Anybody have any experience with them?
Do the DC Sports 4-2-1's "broaden the torque curve" or do they just add to the top end?

The Hedman Chikara boasts 3/8 inch flanges, 16 gauge steel and stepped primary tubes. How do the DC Sports 4-2-1 stack up to that? So far I haven't found any specifics about the DC Sports can anyone point me to a site with that kind of info?

Everybody seems to recommend DC Sports 4-2-1 ceramic headers, other than price difference is there any reason to choose the ceramic over the stainless steel version?

I apologize for the length of this post and would appreciate any knowledgeable responses.

Thanks,
Michael
