LP Gear Replacement Stylus for Ortofon Super OM20 Cartridge?

Does anyone have experience comparing the LP Gear version vs. original Ortofon stylus.  
Suspect I am better off going with the factory original.  On the other hand, for the same cost, I could pick up the LP Gear om40/shibata stylus for the same cost.
Also, does anyone know if the market has been infiltrated with counterfeit goods when it comes to "factory original" replacement styli?  Reliable vendor suggestions welcomed.
Thanks
