Replacement tuning machine question

I'm looking to replace the tuning machines on my Takamine. Anything is a step up from the stock tuners since they're binding up on me though still functional. My question is are these Gotoh chrome tuners any good?

I like them mostly for the price and the fact that they're sealed. There are no reviews on components that I could find so I figured that it wouldn't hurt to ask the question here.

 

Are there also any other brands in this price range that I should consider?

Those Gotoh's are used by alot of builders and they're pretty good tuners. The Gotoh 510's are a little more expensive but IMO they're worth it.

The 510s are nice but if the that makes me wonder: are the GTM30s full-size or mini? These would be going on a full size dread with a Martin-style headstock.

 

I'd also like to save some $$$ to finance any potential future GAS-related purchases.
