For the price, I just don't think they can be beat.

We found some ways to improve them too (thrust bearings, snap rings, etc.)

They're in no way a complete custom module, but for beginners at swerve, this low cost, simple COTS solution helps to get used to the system.
+1. I want to work on some mods to that in the offseason too. It's extremely hard to beat that price, even if you make one from stock metal in-house, due to COTS parts prices.
