Isn't the head gasket that comes in your standard full engine gasket kit cometic?

Ive been looking on the net and none of the full gasket sets Ive seen are Cometic. I can get the Cometic head gasket from the UK or USA but looking at about $150 for it posted. The US one is $50 postage which is crazy for such a small light thing.
Im in Perth, Ill have to do some more searching as they dont seem ready available in the autoshops over here.

www.horsepowerworld.com.au Looks like they're an Australian supplier (in Vic).
In a thread, someone mentioned Chris Mills Performance over in Perth.
Or looks like Road and Track in QLD supply Cometic gaskets.
Any reason why you're after Cometic in particular? Just interested.

Thanks Pamex, I am currently having a head job done on my mx which has a turbo. Its only running 170rwhp but I do a fair bit of track work. My mechanic who Ive used for 20 odd years has told me these gaskets are good quality, he builds westfields. I just want to make sure I do the job properly and dont want to go cheap. Can you recommend any other make of good quality head gasket, appreciate any info
Cheers.

Genuine Mazda has a good reputation from who I talked to.
