Wow that's a good deal, I don't mind straying away from the major brands but I've never even heard of Istanbul, do they produce some good cymbals?
They make some wonderful cymbals. Have a search around this site; there's a lot of information about Istanbul on here. Also, here's a couple of links to check out:

and a review of the Xist series

Have a look on YouTube too. There are lots of videos of Istanbul cymbals for you compare. Just bare in mind that there are two different companies operating under the Istanbul brand name: Istanbul Agop and Istanbul Mehmet
Here's one to get you started:

It's in Polish I think but the cymbals sound the same
