People that shop on price alone are the ones to blame, just have a look at some threads where posters scream about price rather than value.
As for INA, I've used them on many machines with no problems.
As for the sleeve, it is a tough call as what to get. Bearings are made to pretty tight tolerances so what came out can generally go back in unless housing wear needs to be accounted for.
