M3 swaybar location

[theox69]

I just got off the phone with one of the more renown BMW garage's in the area (BimmerShop). When I asked him welding on tabs for the swaybar to use the M3's location, he told me "It's not worth it. They work the exact same way and I even put my swaybars on my control arms on my e30 m3."
He then proceeded to say "If you want, I'll do it. But the labor is $75/hr and it's going to take 4-5 hours to take the struts off, weld it on and then put them back in."

What do you guys have to say about this?
I'm sure there are many of you who have done this yourselves. Is it as useless like he says?
How worth it is this mod?

1. He's full of shit or just stupid. It's not that hard to see how they'd be more effective, for any given control arm movement the strut will travel about twice the distance of the control arm sway link locations. You really think they gave stock 325's 20mm front swaybars and M3s 19mm fronts and the mounting location makes no difference?

2. If you want M3 tabs, remove your struts yourself, brush them down to bare metal in the area that the M3 tabs will be welded on (optional) and give them to whomever will do it the cheapest. If that guy is a competent welder and won't charge an arm and a leg, take them to him, but I wouldn't let someone charge me for 4 hours of labor for something I could easily do myself, and he doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to sway bar geometry.
