Reiner, Founder of Stratus had problems with the low cost brands failing. Things like the temperature rating of the components do vary. Some manufacturers have different product lines with varing quality levels. Standard has 3 lines of essentially the same part in some products. Not only different prices but internally different quality and or design. The manufacturers listed in my manual have been verified at the time to be of hi quality but things do change over time. For example the pickup suggested as best has been redesigned. Still good. Just back from OSH. Got there early to help setup (workshop forums) and left early to get good weather back to west coast.
