I have a pair of Sabian Pro 14" hats and had a pair of Pro Sonix 14"hats which were very similar. They are 'rock' hats and the top weighs 1130 grams the bottom about 1300, they are rather single purpose and OK for what they are, but definitely 'student' level cymbals. I wouldn't recommend them as a 'one size fits all' type of hi hat (a set of medium weighted hats is my preference) but OK for rock music.
Compared to SBRs then - yes I would recommend them if you play rock/punk/metal and want some cheap, budget level hats, but one thing to consider is these hats are pretty OLD B8 student cymbals. I paid around £30 for a pair about 4 years ago, I'm not sure where you live - but if you are in the US I wouldn't consider paying much more than $30 for a pair. Ignore the name 'Pro', they aren't pro level cymbals and don't let the seller try to convince you they are.
