I bought them and my experience is very similar. EXTREMELY
disappointed. The skinning is good but the lack of documentation and
support is appalling. The documentation has holes all throughout it.
I've never gotten a response from the support ticket system. Even
when I wrote asking for a refund. Not a word.
"If they improved support and actively updated them, only then could
I recommend purchasing them." - My thoughts exactly.
I'd be cautious.

I've been disappointed with the MCOM components. Alot of that has
to do with the lack of documentation and support. They match the
V2 API's in many cases, but in the cases where they don't its not
always easy to figure out how to make them work the way you want
since the methods and properties are not properly documented. In
some cases the existing documentation has incorrect method and
property names adding to the frustration. Then when you try to
contact their support you're very lucky to ever hear back from
them. They have a support ticket system (not linked anywhere on
their site), but I can't find how to access the page to add a new
ticket, I can only get to the list of my old list of tickets
(thanks to some old emails I saved). Its not a good support
situation to say the least.
There are some bugs in the components, which is understandable, but
without proper support it becomes a pretty big problem when you run
into them. I expected much better than this especially
considering the price tag.
If they improved support and actively updated them, only then could
I recommend purchasing them.
On the positive side, I do like the skinning capabilities. Its
flexible and pretty straight forward once you get past the errors
in the documentation (I seem to recall some of the linkage ID's are
wrong). In most respects the components themselves are a step up
from the V2 components, but only a subset of the V2 components are
represented.
