Engine mount: OEM MSP or aftermarket?

:
2002 Mazda Protege5
My passenger mount has ripped itself in half and I need to replace it.

I understand the MSP no. 3 mount has more substantial rubber than a stock P5 mount, so I was looking into it. Calling dealers yielded a cost of $280 CAD, while online it can be had for $200 CAD (shipped to my US mailbox).

This is a lot more than expected, which has me considering aftermarket, such as AWR. My only concern with aftermarket is that I would then have to buy both passenger AND driver mounts, and most importantly, would be at the mercy of increased vibration, even with the "soft" 70 durometer mounts.

Opinion time: which option would you recommend and why?

Thank you!
