Those are racing clutches, main duty is to transfer torque, interrupt torque. There is no real requirement for smoothness and controllability of them written in their spec sheet. I suggested it as you claimed to...
You should maybe decide what you need and what you want. Both should be the same finally. If you go with the single aftermarket stuff from e.g. Excedy or Competition Clutch then you have to take into account they are less controllable and they suffer clutch juddering much more then an OEM will do it. I know examples with those which were done after few races, some stand their application job very long, concluding their quality is of an wide range. I would recommend you first to decide what you need and desire and then to check out the market. My impression is still TODA is the right for you. Race proven stuff and quality is there where you expect it, near to OEM quality.
. In my case, I pulled the tranny two times as the gearbox case broke after the repair of the gear wheels did overheat. Now I bought a low mileage SPWM tranny for setting up this right from basis. No gearbox case welding, it will find directly it's way to the end of the metal cycle. Pulling the tranny is annoying when the chassis is a Lotus Elise. Around 3 h dismantle, fixing something, 2 h assembly, so at least 1 day for nothing. In one day I can tune about 80 % of an race engine and earn fine money or having a fine day with my family. Spending time on things, which might, eventually work, but are known to fail is just like preventing one from having a better time. Also just my two cents.
