remanufactured alternator

Anyone running one of these? My bearing is going & was quoted at 1300 for a new part from Porsche. For 150 bucks, I am tempted to try a reman. Any thoughts.

There is one listed on e-bay for $144. I guess it is actually rebuilt. I would rather not spend 1300 on a non-performance part!!

Thanks for the input guys. I will pick up the reman BEFORE mine finally goes. No fun getting stranded. Merry Christmas all.
