My thought on this is... IF you can test the OBX Headers before install, i.e. pressure or vacuum test, and make sure there are no leaks, AND you can get them at a good price allowing for additional testing, then go for the OBX.
Are the TMH worth the $1000 price tag, that is up to you and just how bad you want them; to me, I don't think any set of headers is worth $1000 or close to that price. 
I would research the install and the room available to see if there are any alternative.  I know people have said before the TMH and the OBX Headers are the only choice... that to me is a good reason to check out what else will fit, or at least is there room for modifying the Spring towers to allow more room in the engine compartment.  If I had my engine ready for install, I would do some measuring but I'm not there yet.
Good Luck on your choices.
