Get Hayn HiMods instead. They're less expensive last time I checked and are easier to use and don't require a sacrificial bit to be replaced everytime you disassemble them. 
If you're looking to do this as economically as possible, I'd recommend going with swaged fittings at the top end of the rigging and mechanical fittings at the bottom end. The top end fittings don't deal with the spray and salt that the lower fittings generally see, and as such, the swages will last longer up there than they would down by the deck. The swaged fittings are generally a good deal less expensive than the mechanical fittings, and lighter as well—reducing your costs and weight aloft.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
