Not a bad deal, but if you haven't already I suggest trying one of the cheap carbide Forstner bit sets on Amazon. I was very pleasantly surprised by them. They blow my HSS CMT and Rockler bits out of the water.

I bought this 16 piece set[amazon.com] and I'm very happy with it. We've used one of them (I think 1 5/8") to drill about 600 holes in 1/2" hardwood and it's still going strong. (FWIW, the set I received is branded FivePears and I paid about $73 for it.)
I also have a 40mm bit from another brand that I drilled about 400 holes in 3/4" hardwood and didn't see issues. I eventually broke that 40mm bit when it caught on a workpiece, but for $8 I just tossed it and bought a new one.
My assumption is that most of these bits are manufactured in the same place or to a similar standard, but either way they work pretty well for the price.
