Radiator replacement

About 1 inch of the neck on the radiator broke off I was able to get the hose connected to the shortened neck but want to replace the radiator. I have seen replacement parts from $160 all the way up to $400 for the behr brand. My question is if the behr is known for neck breakage wouldnt it make sense to try another brand while saving a couple hundred bucks? Any brands that anyone would recommend???

actualy behr now reinforced the neck, they have a steel plate around it. So go for the behr, it is pricey but well worth it, i had to replace mine after 26 years. They last alonggg time-well worth it.
