Default 80q - GSF fuel pumps

I see GSF offer 2 fuel pumps for my 80q, one at £34 and one at £77.... has anyone any experience of their cheaper brand?

yes with the cheaper one. its longer than original so had to cut the mounting bracket sligthly and it still doesnt sit in it right,also the intake end is larger than original so doesnt fit fuel line from the tank!! had to fit small piece of larger fuel line on to the pump and a small adapter between the different sizes of fuel line. but besides that its all good

Update- the cheaper ones last about 6 months in my experience. Hmm. The only alternative they have is an Airtek one, that's about £70. Has anyone tried one of these? I'm a tad concerned about fitting them, as the terminals are very close to the banjo outlet and, in particular, the banjo outlet has no hex fitting or any other way of getting a grip on it and is embedded directly into plastic, so I cannot see how you can tighten the banjo nut or remove it if you ever needed to.

Are there any other alternatives available? Bosch ones are not only about £110 but I can't get one in the next day or 2 either & this is for my regularly used 80q (unless I borrow the WR's one...).

Thanks
