Pecos are recommended at my local modular club because they are bomb proof. Most of the ones installed are the "original" style. I have not seen many of the newer code 83 "North American" style. However, if the mechanism is the same - and there's no reason to believe it's not - they should be good.
I really like the look of the Walthers-Shinohara turnouts. I have bought them for my modules that will eventually make it into "public" use at the club.
However, for operation like the Pecos, you need to add a ground throw, switch machine, or the like. Unless you make it yourself, you need to add that cost before you declare them cheaper.
Hope that helps.
