Original or repro brake cylinders?

Is there a significant difference in the quality/longevity/function of the ATE cylinders over the repro ones? Obviously the price is difference is significantly with £12 verses £40.
If the ATE ones are genuinely worth the extra then I don't mind spending it, if there's not much between them then I'll save myself a few quid and spend it on beer and pizza.

I fitted repro ones all round and at least one of the front ones has been sticking on and off, copper greased under the rubber cap and that seems to have solved the problem, next time I would buy ATE and use rubber grease under the rubber dust caps (rubber grease can be bought at Halfrauds)

Had the cheap ones from GSF and have just ordered some new ones as they have leaked within just over a year!!!!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil:

Fitting me ones this weekend.

Well thats none for and two against so I'll spend the extra. I didn't cheapskate when I did them on the front so may as well keep it original all round, the peace of mind will be worth it.
