Default OME 2" lift or Rough Country 2.5"?

Hi everyone!
It's that time of year to add some modifications to get the jeep ready for summer fun!
I'm currently looking to add a small lift kit for my 2010 2 door JK which has 33" tires.
I always wanted OME lift kit as I hear nothing but good things about it but when I see rough country's being half the price it gets me thinking. Does anyone have experience with these kits and have any input on which I should go for?
Ohh the jeep is daily driver and very light off road.

I have the rough country 2.5 inch coil lift. And I've never had a problem with it.

But if I was you I would get the 3.5 inch rough country coil lift. It has better shocks and lower front control arms. And I would get 35 inch tires. You can run 35 on the 2.5 inch rough country lift. But the 3.5 is better lift.

Only thing that really bothers me is that the RC is half the price of OME. Is it really worth that money of the OME?
I can get RC for 289! And OME is 650

Im looking at the light shocks as mines only 2 door and don't have added weight on my truck. Heard the hd ones are awful ride for trucks like mine.
