Having had ceramic ball bearings in a BB in the past I would have to agree. I put the particular one down to seal, but in any case it was the shortest living BB I've ever owned and even when it was working, it always made noise and frustrated me to no end.
That said, at least this is available in a stainless version too and the tool is the real sell here! Anything to make the press-fit pain easier to deal with. :)
