Heat/AC blower resister. MB vs Behr Hella

2001 E430. Blower is working but slow, basically no difference once you hit a bit over 1/2 to full full. Sound like it could be the resistor (or the blower itself).
For the resister EPC gives me 2108214651. Decision time - Behr Hella for under $70 or the real MB for $110. Anyone use that Behr Hella (available on many sites) and have any negative issues?

- Thanks

Behr/Hellas is the OE for MB blowers.
Make sure parts are manufactured in Germany not China.

Where is the part manufactured?
Want to confirm my worries if Behr make all their stuff in Asia?
