Are these the same Manual CDs?

The Manual CD site isn't currently taking orders, and they redirect you to ForcedPerformance. Are the two the same? The CDs look the same. Here are the two links:

ManualCD and FP

Thanks!

Can't beat that price! There are 16 available, but I have to wonder if he's just burning illegal copies.

Maybe not, but I'm gonna go with the FP ones to be safe.

Yes, apparently all the copies on eBay were pirated from the original. Kind of too-bad, as the original -as good as it is- has many pages that are not the best of scans. Officially, DSMtuners has always encouraged users to buy the expensive original, which although seemingly pricey compared to the legion of ripoffs, is still a huge bargain compared to the real manuals' cost from the manufacturer.
I have no idea why the Eclipse books pull $60 on eBay, while Talon manuals go for $20. Although the styles and paper differ, the information applies to both lines.

Vineet updated the manual CD a couple of years back, rescanned some of the pages, corrected the section where the pages were in reverse order, and updated the versions of CAPS but the unchecked theft of his work on eBay discouraged him from spending much more time on it.

Been there, been done by that. Life in digitaldom.
