Greetings from much further downeast (Mt. Desert Island), at least 
until we get home tonight.  Sorry, I can't offer any real opinion on 
OEM vs. later SC.  You didn't say whether it was a later or earlier 
Spitfire.  The SC is different.  If it was me I'd probably go for the 
aftermarket one, but I can't see that it makes much difference.
