New Reusable Canning Lids On The Market

I belong to a canning group and they've been raving about these for quite awhile.. I finally ask for the source to find out more about them.

They are called Tattlers and are Made In The USA.

Has anyone on here used them yet? I like the idea that they are american made and reusable which is of course better for the environment.

Looks like they use a rubber gasket like the zinc lids used to, use a new gasket each time... am I looking at that right???

Actually from what I read in the FAQ you can use the gasket over and over. In thinking about it though ... I really like it but with the current metal lids you hear a ping/pop noise when they seal, I do wonder how you'd. know for sure that they sealed without hearing that ping noise? I'll have to ask more questions to the canning group about their usage the lady who answered my question said they were going to do a bulk buy on them as they are expensive. I looked at the price and it seemed to me that they are about the same price as the current metal lids.
