Solid Engine/Trans Mounts

I'd like some comments from those who have experienced the solid mounts. I'm about to purchase either the semi-solid wevo's or a solid set. My car has every available suspension and chassis mod except the solid subrame bushings that I have but have not installed. It is a 1 or two trips to work a week, weekend and track day car. I don't mind harsh as long as it does not present any real problems. Do the solid eng/trans mounts really present such a vibration issue for the interior and controls that some semi-solid mount manfacturers claim ? Is the extra vibration bothersome enough to justify almost double the cost for the wevo's ?

Thanks for your opinions.

i run solid engine mounts in my car, you definitely feel more vibration from the engine but it's not THAT bad..

i don't think the extra vibration is enough to justify the double cost..
