Why the big price difference in receiver/driers?
 
And which should I get?
Prices range from $123 wholesale at the dealer, to $92 for a Hansa, to $14 for a Metrix, to $32 for a Behr. I think I can rule out the Metrix, but what has been your experiences good or bad on the others? I kind of feel comfortable about the Behr brand, but that huge price difference worries me. Sometimes you do get what you pay for.

I'd go behr otherwise...

dryer
 
No the dealer one comes with an expensive genuine Mercedes Benz blue box.
Available only through your authorized stealer. Oh yes it has a silver star on it too. The box is custom designed and professionally engineered to fit the part it comes with. A very expensive process but necessary.
