I can confirm that you really *do* want to buy the better quality mounts. Even so, I discovered that even the good mounts will get destroyed rather quickly if the engine shocks are bad. My 300SE has two such engine shocks and I learned the hard way that the mounts will tear pretty fast without the shocks to dampen the stresses from hard shifts and/or engine braking.

It's worth checking them out.
