Any experience with these intake manifold gaskets?

I made the mistake of re-using the stock metal intake manifold gaskets during my rebuild and I ended up with a fuel smell and issues with that. So I pulled the twins and both manifolds and the metal gasket from the LIM to the engine was wet and there was fuel getting past it.

Looking at new gaskets for the intake manifolds I came across these "thermal barrier" ones on ebay.

Does anyone have experience with them? They are cheaper than OEM, and are supposedly reusable, so if they seal well on their own, then I am sold.
