CA Does anybody recognizes this aftermarket starter called "Prime Choice" ?

My 04' Rx8 has a weak starter so I was surfing thorugh the web...
Couldn't find anything that is under $100 but this one here,

http://www.primechoiceautoparts.com/...arter%20Motors

looks like it's an aftermarket starter... called "Prime Choice",
would you guys think this starter would work as same as OEM 06' starter?

I was trying to get reputation of this aftermarket brand, so I searched in this forum but no results came out.

Anybody recognizes "Prime Choice"??

Thank you.

When you google them all that returns are promo links, nobody is perfect there should be at least one link from a real person that has dealt with that company. All you know about that part is that it should fit an RX-8. You do not know the specifications that starter was built to. For all you know it can be weaker than the 1st gen starters. On a part that is used as much as a starter going cheap on this part is simply stupid. You also might be at a greater risk of flooding with a cheap starter built to unknown specs. You get what you pay for, $77 for a $300 part? The middle man doesn't take that much. They have to skimp on something to sell it for that price and still make money on it.
By the way you can get a reman one from Rockauto.com for under $200.
