 Anyone have any history with these resistors?:

They are about $311 each from Digikey.
Are they as stable & accurate as advertized?

i would actually recommend to use the hermetic foil resistors from vishay. they are available as 4-wire versions, I have measured them to 0,2ppm/C (although supposedly they are 0.05ppm/C at room temp typ.), so still pretty stable and comparable to the one you mention. aging also is good, < 0.5ppm/a at <10mW load, may be the same resistor anyway. I bought a couple just recently (0.1% abs., do not need high abs. accuracy but need stability) for 30 euros each.
