I bought some of each based on the descriptions that I researched about them. Anyone have any experiences with them?

quite a bit, what do you want to know about them?
I use the first gold for the bittering boil, and the uk kent for the flavor...along with fuggles ... and then UKK&F for the aroma as well.

What amount of bitter, flavor, amora did you get from them?
What style did you use them in?

As everyone know that have read my ranting's, I'm not a "style" type guy. However, a close proximity, Irish Reds, or that area style.
One of my favorites was:
Batch:33113
10# 2row ... mashed... 60 min
1/2# Carahell ... steeped then added to mash at end
1/2# Carafoam ... steeped then added to mash at end (both were steeped together)

1oz UK Kent Golding (5.0 AA) 60 min boil
1/2oz each of Kent/Fuggle 15 min boil (fuggle 3.6AA)
1/2 oz each of Kent/Fuggle at 1 min to flame out.
(all hops were placed in a hop spider)
1tbs Irish Moss at 15 min... commando
WLP 004 Irish Ale yeast (washed)
OG: 1:058~FG:1:013
24.6 IBU
Notes say I really liked that one...

East Kent Goldings are mild and good in any English beer, lots of Belgian styles, Saisons, even APA/IPAs as a supplemental hop. It is almost impossible to over hop with them as a finishing hop unless you use totally insane amount.

I started out to do a 3 Gal. Saison but had so much German Lager yeast around that I ended up with a Lager instead.
Used Perle for bittering and UK East Kent as a finishing hop.
Very fine and mellow finish. Would try this again.

Interesting" I'll have to see what I can think up first before using these.
