ARE ALL SPRING COMPRESSORS THE SAME??

Hello. I have a 2000 clk 430 and need to replace springs. The following two links show two different compressors.

The cheaper of the two does not mention the 208 being comptaible, HOWEVER, the more expensive of the two shows that it works with my model and the ones that the cheaper one works with. The plate size and "telescopic" length are the same, but i notice in the photos that the cheaper one looks slightly longer. Check the long rod on the more expensive one and notice how there is space when sitting in the case to the right of it. So, are these compressors all universal or can I only use the more expensive one? Thank you!
