To be honest, that's the worst thing for a rose joint, because the balls are high carbon (usually 52100) steel, so they get rust pits where moisture sits pretty quickly if they're stood without being used unless they have a lubricant film over 'em. Like most things with a car/machinery - they don't like being stood!
I do know what you mean at 80 quid for a pair of links, given for half that you can stick some good quality stock links on - but going by when I was doing 'em, I'd say that's kinda the no-mans land, in that they're too expensive for people to just go 'meh, cheap and cheerful, they'll do for the track car' so they'll just clean and grease 'em every month - and actually being expensive enough to do a decent package that will last the abuse they get on a road car.*
Still doesn't help you mind
*Yes, that is the right way around, road car suspension bits see FAR more abuse than most track cars
