No-one said these were inherently bad because they're not MIA. Seems like defending them before they needed to be defended.
I think they look good. My beef with the price is that it'll drop off a cliff in the second hand market, because it's not a Fender. It doesn't matter where it's from. It could be the best P bass Fender never made - that won't matter a jot to a predimonantly ill-informed marketplace. Because of this, and because I can't be trusted not to get bored/distracted and sell basses on, I would never consider buying this bass.
But I hope that they work out for you, that you never sell them and enjoy playing them for a long time.
