I think they're great!
A big improvement on the plastic ones. The tower deck looks good with the brass too. The kit includes the brass manhole covers or whatever they're called on the saddle tanks and things like the net cutters and bollard caps etc.

I use brass rods to index it in place and elastic with hooks to hold it down so you can pull the deck up anywhere on the boat for access.
Works well for me.

The above link is to where I got my deck kit in USA. Posted to Australia.
