suncore front air struts?

who has used these? suncore, rmt, and arnott are all built in florida. I ordered a pair, after i send my old ones back in they will be $440 or the price of one reman arnott.
rmt and arnott are lifetime, suncore is one year warranty. The salesperson, who previously worked at rmt, said they were all the same parts but you pay more for the warranty and arnott name, and they all last 7-10 years. unless there is manufacturers defect, which typically happens in the first year.

The next part I want to double check is they sold me 2007-09 e550 units, they said they are the same just a little longer than the amg units and as long as i did the pair all the dynamic options would work properly. does this present any problems? I will stay at stock height, I typically ride around in comfort setting but of course I do not want to loose the dynamic functions.

if you prefer comfort, it will ride the same or better. I imagine the strut has softer settings. Taller means possibly more suspension travel (more comfort)

took 10 days to get to california, after I ordered I sent an email requesting amg spec ones, I received no response to that but they did take a few days to ship. I thought the difference was the lower mounting hole location on the shock but they looked identical. Ill report back after I get some drive time, the initial test drive was fine and the whole system stayed inflated for 36 hours so thats good
