mishimoto vs. ebay

just wondering on some information or if anyone went that route. i found the radiator on eBay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2003-...Q5fAccessories

anyone think it would be remotely equivalent in performance to the mishimoto?

X2, i have had both and they really are the same damn thing. My stock rad started leaking so I had to buy one quick so I got the ebay for like 120 shipped. Later I bought mishimoto, and theres no difference...
