BLAZER Pro Series Compression Kit: SCS fake?

If you're one of the many people who have seen or even owned an SCS, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. These are SCS look-a-likes made by BLAZER as part of their Pro Series of Freestyle Scooter Products.

It's pretty safe to say that these look EXACTLY like the Proto SCS (previously known as the "Brass Knuckle") Compression systems released back in 2009. Strangely enough they don't appear to make the original colour of the SCS- anodised gold (hence it's previous name). Since the original products was pending on a patent, 'Phoenix' and 'Apex Scooters' have both made compression systems in the same way, but with a different appearance. As for as I know, this is the first SCS 'copy' to look the same as Proto's original version. I haven't seen any of these around yet but at a price of £39.95, these may be favoured over the original Proto SCS (shipped from the US) being sold at SkateHut for £69.95, almost double the price, not sure about the quality of which they are being made though.
