Wiper Inserts: Bosch vs. SWF

Is there a noticeable difference between Bosch and SWF wiper inserts? I have Bosch blades with the good old fashioned type metal strips. (W124)

1) Are they cross compatible?
3) If yes, are the Bosch worth the $3 premium?

I've only used Bosch so I can't make the comparison.

I wouldn't think an MB owner would haggle over $3 though?

Go ahead! Splurge for the Boschs...

The OE wiper insert is made by SWF, not bosch.

Haggle over $3? It all adds up! And the best part about working on your own Benz is you save sooooooooo much money! Much more than other makes. Really, I want best fit -- sounds like it will be SWF?
