i've heard Kent Wang's are a nice alternative to cp's, should i size down like with cp's or size up like the site says?
also anyone have experience with the quality?
is it worth forking the extra coin and copping cp's?

depends on how you measure "worth"- MMM footwear in general (I own GATs and oxfords) for the retail price would be disappointing. The soles especially on GATs seem like they'd wear through in two years. The materials are very nice though, so I don't wear mine as beaters.
