anybody use a sectra radiator?

My rad has developed a leak. I would normally try to source and OE brand but then again the OE's haven't always been the best for Rads (example: Valeo in the C32s). I happen to be looking on Autozone they have a Spectra lifetime warranty for $233 but with a 10% and then 20% discount for home delivery. Has anyone ever used this brand or any vehicle? If so are they decent.

When I had some front end damage repaired by a dealer body shop awhile back they tried to use non-OEM radiator and AC condensers because that's what my insurance company would cover. They wound up using OEM when they could prove to the adjuster that the non-OEM parts didn't fit well. Don't know the brand names but the radiator came from India. I've learned over the years that OEM is usually higher quality.
