As a part-time DIYer, I want to point out a few things about DIY products:
1. DIY is usually not repeatable. There usually is a big variation between each piece of the amplifier due to parts variation.
2. It looks very nice, that is true, but naked transformers can be dangerous. Also, anode caps don't look too solid.
3. DIY can have an amazing value for money, but it is very hard to get your investment back. It loses value extremely fast.

But if it hits your spot it can be a good choice.

Big triode power. Wonder what OPT they used? Pretty cheap really for a high voltage amp like that. Of course *if* it sounds good :)
