The only snag is that the clones don't have on-board FTDI chips, so you need a USB to TTL converter - a cable or a breakout board.

The only thing to watch out for is that the 6-way cable (which resembles the ones I'm used to) is out of stock, so I had to order cables with a 7-way connector. The seventh socket is connected to a shield, and it looks as if it can be left unconnected.
Do your own evaluation before you buy, but it seems like a bargain to me.
