Looks like Loncin stepped up to the bat with a set of their own 250's.

The Loncin PY250 (LX250PY in South Africa) could be a formidable model and the company has a decent reputation in China itself. We'd love to hear from anyone who has any experience with these in any part of the world! Specs quoted from site follow.
