You should really take a closer look at the Yokos before investing in those other tires. I got mine for $153 each through Discount Tire. You might also consider the Bridgestone RE 730 which I've heard is a great tire for the money.
In testing at http://www.tirerack.com between the AVS Sports, Bridgestone S-02 Pole Positions, and Dunlop SP Sport 9000 they said "...as the track dried the AVS Sport understeer was minimized and it continually narrowed the lap time differences between it and the Bridgestone Potenza S-02 Pole Position, until in dry conditions its average lap times were the fastest of the three tires in the test. After our day of testing on the track the Yokohama AVS Sport tires showed noticeably less wear, and more even wear than the other two tires tested."
I would definitely agree that the tire wear seems much less than on the OEM Dunlops. You really need to be careful though because I think the Dunlops are only rated for a maximum pressure of 45psi whereas the Yokos will go to 51. The AVS Sports have an indicator on the sidewall which marks the maximum wear area and I was exactly on that mark with about 46psi.
