I'm sorry....what are you splurging on? Those flow exactly what the stock inj's do. I had my 714's sent out and tested because I wanted to see what they actually flowed instead of "internet myth." Well the internet says 192cc's and my test results showed 204cc's. Wow...automatic upgrade of 6.25% flow I guess and I didn't even have to buy a different set advertised at a higher rate. Now you could buy those and then have them flowed and find out that they flow 6.25% more and are actually 216.75cc's. Who knows?
Both sets you're looking at are "re-manufactured" which means they have been cleaned.
Have your own cleaned for $16+/ea. at a reputable facility or DIY.

Here is a shortened excerpt from :
http://www.pelicanparts.com/BMW/techarticles/JF-Tech/BMW_E30_3_Series_fuel_injector_cleaning.htmBegin Quote: "With the injectors out, you might see a build-up of crud on the tips. This is usually a mixture of carbon deposits, fuel additives and gas. Use a rag to wipe off as much as you can. Now, get a can of brake cleaner and spray the outside of the injectors and the tips. Use a soft brush to remove any grime on the tips. Now spray a bit of brake cleaner down the inside of each injector and blow them out with some compressed air. You may be surprised at what comes out of there. Each fuel injector has a small filter that collects any debris or crud in the fuel system. Spraying the brake cleaner in there will dissolve any deposits in there.
A good way to clean the inside is to spray cleaner in there, then hit it with compressed air. Keep doing this until the brake cleaner coming out is clear. This is an indication that they are clean. CAUTION: be sure to use goggles when you do this, as the compressed air will spray the cleaner everywhere. You don’t want this stuff to get into your eyes.
Once you have all the injectors clean, get some new fuel injector seals and place them on each end of each injector (Pelican Parts carries these seals for $0.61 each.) Now to re-install them, put a little engine oil on the outside of the seals and press them back into the fuel rail. The engine oil will help you push them into the fuel rail as well as help seal them. Now re-install the retaining clips the secure the injectors into the fuel rail.
Now, go back to the car and plug each injector port with a small piece of paper towel. Now take some brake cleaner and a small brush and clean the area around the injector ports. This will clean the area and prevent any loose dirt or debris from entering the injector ports. Take the paper towels out and look inside each port to make sure there is no dirt in there. If there is, use a small vacuum to suck it out.
Coat each lower injector seal with a small bit of engine oil and position the fuel rail/ fuel injectors back in place in the intake manifold. Now, using equal pressure on both ends of the fuel rail, push down until each injector seats in the manifold." End Quote.
