Is that bigger than the normal large size gas lens?

They are lighter and shorter I think they are a 16mm dia not to sure

Same ceramics though?

Edit: think they must be as there's no special ones listed in the PDF.

That's a bit expensive for a shroud

Least they've included a decent CK gas lens and collet. That's £6 odd on its own.
That cup is the same concept as the arc-zone, FUPA and Specialty Precision Welding cups.

Personally unless your getting into welding spendy exotics they are a waste of money.
They are over hyped by the Americans that believe such things are essential even when welding aluminium and stainless.
I can't remember the last time I needed anything bigger than a number 7 cup on a standard lens.
materials such as titanium yes or particular jobs where excessive tungsten protrusion is needed then yes a big cup/defuser with higher flow rates would help other wise no need at all.
