Distributors have put up pictures showing how they are identical. People who have bought and installed them are weighing in with their experiences. You are trying to discount that, why? You have no experience with these particular parts, you keep talking about a shop which has a particular policy that works for them but that still has nothing to do with this.
Ah. Because i don't think one set being good proves all are. You're buying factory seconds. Some will be better than others.
