i almost guarantee that their rare earth magnets are the radioshack ones which can be bought for $1.49. and i really dont think that they are needed especially if you are running dual cells.

The difference between the stock magnet and rare earth is negligable.

Stock: ~3,550 Gauss
Rare Earth: ~3,700 Gauss
