Good interchangeable Needle Sets ?

[kelmommy]

I'm in search of really good interchangeable Needles sets reasonably priced. Two I've looked at are the BOYE and DENISE. I want a set witht he capability to be as small as 12" length. I can't tell from the description of these if they can do that. They say you can customize length. Any opinions on quality...that's a big factor too! This is will be a birthday present so I want to pick the right one. Plus I'm a pretty new knitter so I only have a few needles right now, so I want to get the most use out of this purchase. Should I just forget interchangeable sets? Thanks for any help.
