Does anyone have any experience with these bits? Are they worth the money?

No idea.  Famag make the best as far as I've ever read. 

I have a set of Bosck Forstner bits that are ranked near Famag bits.

I have a similar set which is fine for occasional use.  They tend to get very hot (sizzling water) with extended use - I use water to cool them down if needed before they lose any temper they might have.

If I was going to use them extensively, I'd get one of the heftier carbide alternatives with a cooler design.
