Zu doesn't source their cables "off the rack" like BJ does. They have their own cable looms and make everything from scratch. They also do a lot of Beta testing before they settle on a design.
Having said that, I've used Zu Mission ICs for a long time before I moved onto the Darwin brand. The Events are supposed to be a big step up from the Mission line but I can't attest to it. I just took a look at their prices and they're reasonable and if part of their Skeleton Sale, you'll have 60 days to try them out.
All the best,
