A scan the other day picked up a faulty coil pack in the V8 AU. I rang around the usual suspects and was quoted $73 per side for NGK & Bosch and then Repco quoted me $165 per side for Fuelmiser. I asked the guy why so dear & he said their reduced from $195 per side at the moment. I then looked online and discovered the Motorcraft code F5LU-12029-AA is widely used on everything from 1.6 Escorts to Econovan's from Germany to America. They range in price from $25 to $50 and onwards. Obviously the postage from some country's is dearer than others but I can still buy genuine Motorcraft delivered cheaper than any aftermarket job here in Sydney. I always prefer Motorcraft parts when I can get them and I don't think there is any advantage in using MSD especially as the motor's internals are standard. Definitely worth shopping around with savings as big as $250 between Repco & Blacktown Spares.
