The Zoom isn't any cheaper than an SB. It has weighted arms that add pressing force to the pressure plate as rpm increases.
Seems like a good idea to me, a lot like a professional drag racing clutch.

It's just like a centerforce. They will not hold the torque of these motors. They'll do fine for a while, but then they will go out. You will be much better off going with a Southbend. They have higher pressure ratings, and will handle alot more torque.
