Got these last week but I'm going to go the drvanos route.
They are $60 plus $5 shipping from Beisan.
I will let them go for $60 shipped - saves you 5 bucks.

Bingo. I would rather swap out the parts for peace of mind. Dr. Vanos also includes new bearings.
Messaggero
for my own education for the day when (not if apparently) I need VANOS work: Beisan seals for a specific problem that might pop up, but its just the seals you replace for it. Dr. Vanos is a whole rebuild, bearings, seals, etc but upgraded and for cars that have the bad rattle problem. do I have it right?

Both kits do the same thing, Beisan sells you the parts to fix yours (the rattle kit is a separate item), Dr Vanos sells you a whole VANOS. Beisan uses upgraded seals, Dr Vanos does not.

I think Dr. Vanos does use upgraded seals.

They do.
From their site:
Each dual vanos is fully rebuilt using modified bearings along with high-performance Viton O-rings and Teflon seals that will not only eliminate the vanos rattle, but also restore lost power due to worn out internals. Our vanos units will stand up to more abuse than the stock units, and will last the life of the car.
Capo di tutti capi
What's funny is that, in my experience.....the O-rings, nor the teflon seals(?) are what cause the rattle. It's the oversized spacers.

I thought it was the bearings that cause the rattle.
Unless that is what you are referring to as spacers.
