Exactly right Xellex! Not to mention that they are cheaper and it is a mass production product which makes them easier to buy.The cheaper price however is can not be really seen as a reason to buy them,because the amount of machining required equals that out.
These cylinders as you see in the pics can be ran with a 90mm stroke.The length of these are 102,5mm with a 101,65mm bore.The wall thickness is 7mm Remmele runs these cylinders with a 106mm bore and a 90mm stroke in a type 4 case making 3176ccm.
The strength is far superior to JE cylinders or any other cast iron cylinder for the aircooled vw.
The conversion to deutz cylinders have been around for a long time,even with type 1 also.A few have used these cylinders and modified Porsche 911 heads for OHC conversion,like what Holzapfel did.Remmele does most his of cnc work himself now as he invested in some tooling.Since then,he has decided to go with these cylinders again as they have proven to be the best solution for his big type 4s.They are a pain to machine though,because they are extremely hard.
