At $3 each, why not? One thing though, these are not nearly as nice as the original (one of which I picked up last week for almost 7 times the price). You can tell the needles aren't nearly as nice, definitely not as sharp and the finish is not quite as good. Another thing is that the string that comes with these is not waxed which is also not nearly as nice. Is it $17 better? Maybe not, but there is definitely a difference to consider.
