I do believe I would go for the Original.
It has quality control performed ..on it for a major company at a time with legendary strict quality checks.
Which not necessary replacement firm parts has like Mikes.
There is also the aspect that a big manufacturer like Yamaha is a big customer .So the firm selling parts.
Are treating a purchase from Yamaha differently than a smaller parts dealer only.
Historically non factory parts came because they were cheaper but sometimes .Not of a even and good quality.
On the other hand chains are used at many places and are in that sense a more or less standard Machine Component
So a known company may be exactly the same as the stock..
But I notice Mr Grizid has personal experience.
