However, the particular organization I worked for had higher quality control standards for its Genuine parts that were shipped to manufacturers than the units shipped to wholesale distributors. I do not believe the level of difference makes a fundamental change in the functionality of said part but it does largely impact the price. Of course it is always up to the consumer to decide the level of care they want to purchase.
