Even though there may be exceptions like the one Bob cites, I believe that
it would be folly to assume that all "identical" products, although
differently branded and manufactured by one company, will, in fact, be identical. In
many cases, you do get what you pay for.

I read a number of years ago that there are--or were then-- only two

batteries from scratch. All the name brands-- Die Hard, Interstate,
etc., etc., etc. come from these two manufacturers. There are more than
two filter manufacturers, but it's the same idea.
The same is true for fuel pumps. The trick there is to specify the one for
the cheapest car - e.g. Bosch used to make the same pump for VW, BMW and
Ferrari. The last one is nearly three times as expensive as the first - the
only difference is the paint job and logo.
