I finally decided to invest in a set of chips that I could be proud of and use for many, many years to come. This was the set I decided on, thinking they were a high quality, 14 gram clay chip.
The chips definately are not full clay, but more of a heavy plastic or acrylic. I wouldn't go as far as to say they are 'cheap' but they aren't the fantastic quality I was expecting. That said, they are nice as a starter set, or even as a hobbyist set, but it is not the lifelong addict's set I was planning on. I am happy with them for the time being (maybe 3-5 solid years) but will look into replacing this set at some point in the near future.
If I had a chance to look at and feel the chip before buying them, such as in a store, I would verify that the price is about what they are worth, but the $70 I paid for shipping makes me feel like I overpaid for them (but I do live in Alaska, shipping is probably cheaper for lower 48). I got them on the fifth business day after ordering them, and was pleasantly pleased by that. However, some of the chips were already opened when I got them, and had essentially a pile of random colored chips on the bottom of the box. The carrying case arrived in good condition, (with a lock and key) and I haven't had any issues with it as of yet. The dice and cards are fairly low quality, but that really didn't bother me.
Overall, I'm not unhappy with the purchase. I'm not blown away by the quality of the chip, but I'm not angry and don't feel cheated. It is a nice chip set that could comfortably host 20-30 person tournaments, depending on how you set denominations. Also, if you use the green $25 chips as quarters, the green/white/red chips would make for a great way to play .25/.50 or .50/1 no limit cash games with a group of 5-10 players.

The ultimate set has a stylish design and a relatively official weight. However, the poker chips have predesignated amounts that rise quickly. Makes it difficult to vary the blinds and play with your own values.
