Fan clutch - OEM or Aftermarket

Before I make a move.
Replacing fan clutch, aftermarkets are definitely a better price at around $130.00 USD vs. OEM that I was able to find at $800.00
Any experience on either of these ?

Hi ! I still have my original fan clutch too but as a preventive maintenance I would like to replace it . I found febi quite affordable. Do you recommend it ?

I believe Febi parts are generally good. Febi is merged with Bilstein, the shock absorber company.

I have a Febi for about 2 years with no problems so far. (Cooling in hot weather is fine).
