Setting aside the "technical" arguments for a moment, consider what drives the design and engineering decisions of an OEM vs. an aftermarket part manufacturer.
The OEM is highly motivated to avoid warranty claims. A single claim can and frequently does take all the profit out of a unit's sale. They aren't going to compromise on components that protect their profits.
An aftermarket part maker had a completely different mindset. For K 'n N I believe that means creating a reputation for higher performance and long (virtually unlimited) product life.
