I bought one of these too but returned it because it wasn't better than what I use.
The main reason I don't like most ringflashes is because you get a "ring" shaped light, in the eye of some insects using them.

I didn't buy mine, I built it out of materials I had on hand. It's a design from another member here.
Materials I used:
foam board
electricians tape
and aluminum foil
and a cut out of a milk jug for the diffuser end
glue to hold it together long enough to wrap the tape and to glue the aluminum foil so it wouldn't slide.
Some members use a Pringles can and it is already lined with silver foil, and comes with its own diffuser.
Photo using my setup:

What's your budget in buying a ringflash?
There are many options for this. Not only ringflashes for macro photography but also bog standard flashes work for macro work too. I don't own a ringflash but use a Pentax AF201FG flash with extender/diffuser homemade for all my macro work.
