How good are Lexar's Memory Sticks? Or should I build one instead?

I was considering getting this:

http://www.amazon.com/Lexar-LMSPD32GBSBNA-32GB-Memorystick-Pro/dp/B002RL8UQ6

But this is the cheapest 32GB Memory Stick I could find, and I was worried that it might have low speeds and/or reliability because of this, the others cost a lot more.

I was also considering "building" one by combining these together into one device:

(Keep in mind that Transcend is far far higher quality than the average MicroSDHC card, it has very high INTERNAL speeds as well (most only measure external read/write speeds) and was the only brand able to stream some very high data rate random access data for me correctly).

However, back when I was planning to "build" a 32GB card, 32GB Memory Sticks didn't even exist, and I was fully expecting them to be $250 to $300 when they came out, now that they would cost about an extra $20 or so from just building one, I am not sure if I should bother.

Also, I don't know if the PhotoFast adapter (Which I admit is a rather cheap device) would impact the speeds of the MicroSDHC cards or not, even though it assigns them in a RAID0 configuration for faster speed, I have no idea if it can keep up with the cards or ANY Memory Stick.... or if its powerful enough to surpass it if you use good MicroSDHC cards. I also heard that it takes a second or two to "boot up", don't know if this would cause any problems or not in any devices.

Does anybody know, or better yet, know of any tests done on these devices or this memory stick so I can choose what would give me the best performance and least headaches?
