Default Vortex Sprockets

So I keep hearing that when I finally go to my 520 (-1/+2) that I shouldn't get Vortex sprockets because of their life span. I keep hearing that around the 1st year they start to wear and chip teeth. Have you guys had any problems with them? Do they have a warranty? I am looking for a decent sprocket set, that I don't have to pay out the ass for. Any help would be great! Thanks

I had a set on my bike when I got it. Garbage. They were worn down about 1/2 as much as gasman's picture and he said he put em on the year before.
