Not trying to crap on the idea of a cheap diffusor, just wondering if there are as many drawbacks to something like this as there might be benefits.

It is hard to say how they would work or at what frequencies it is scattering sound or absorbing sound. That my friend is the reason there are test labs for companies to use. If a company does not have testing you really have to ask yourself why.
I think if someone wants diffusion and can not afford to buy the real deal then it is best to DYI something that is proven. It might cost you more then $30.00 (or maybe not) but you know at that point that you have done things right.
