Default Time for a new chain

My current chain is stretched out, so Im looking around for a new one. Im going to buy sprockets as well just to have it all fresh. Ive came across a chain/sprocket kit, seems a little cheaper to buy that instead of separate.

Does either one of these seem to be a good buy, or should I keep looking?
Regina OEM Chain and Sprocket Kits - Street Bike - Motorcycle Superstore
RK O-Ring OEM Chain and Sprocket Kits - Street Bike - Motorcycle Superstore

Thanks for the help guys.

I would look at the RK myself ... or go with a DID set if i could find one of those at a good price .... I've heard lots of good things about DID and RK .... haven't heard too much personally about Regina's chains and sprockets ..... (that don't mean they're crap .. just don't know alot about em) ...

The sprocket and chain kits are the best deal to go with most of the time ... looks like you've got a couple of good choices on your hands ...

Find a DID, get steel sprockets too. Aluminium ones wear quickly and the weight "benefit" makes no difference to a road bike.

Widely regarded as the best "not stupidly expensive" chains around.
