Latest production Bosch injectors any good?

A few years back there was talk about the india facility and poor quality or inconsistent quality of the Bosch injectors, has that improved by now?
Is the new stock any better than say monark?
At 40 dollars a pop for Bosch's they arent a bad idea im thinking.
Any ideas

Monarks

We know their quality is up to Teutonic standards,consistently.

The Bosch is "Caveat Emptor".

I cannot say for a fact Boschs for the 617s have improved or not.

I have Monarks Spray Nozzles in 2 vehicles.
I can't see the reason to pay more for Bosch nozzles at $27-$30 (you can find them for that much if you look around).

Even if the Bosch nozzles were the same quality and cost the same they have a design feature I do not like.
The Pintel in the nozzle is drilled through the center with a tiny hole and also drilled across.
The origional Spray Nozzles from my car and almost all the Ones I have pulled from the Junkyard have had that central hole and sometime even the cross drill hole totally plugged with carbon.
In the Service Manual the show that the diameter of the central drilled hole was increased adding a / to the Nozzle Number. I believe this was an attempt to keep them from plugging.
Monark and the Bosch Spray Nozzles for the newer Diesels no longer have the central and cross drilled holes.
