Replacing 1995 850 blower motor....opinions on which one to buy? 850 1995

Hello, all.

I have a 1995 850 glt and the blower motor has, evidently, gone bad. It was really noisy, which I didn't notice for a while due to playing my music really loud, haha. Then it got a lot more noisy and started causing vibration all the way up into my driving foot, and then ceased to do anything but make an electrical buzzing noise unless it was on full blast. I live in SE PA, and we're in the midst of a blizzard...so I can't wait on this.

I was going to buy the aftermarket blower motor on ipdusa.com, but they're replenishing stock is delayed. Unfortunately, they don't say on there what brand this is, so I'm having a hard time locating the same part on ebay. There seem to be 2 aftermarkets on ebay that I can buy new. One by a company called TYC, which is only $65, and one made by Astral Auto Hersteller that sells for $115...the same price that ipd charges for their aftermarket blower motor.

I am assuming that Astral is probably the one that I'm looking for, and TYC is probably crap...thus the price difference. But I was wondering if anybody has any experience with brand name vs. different aftermarket brands of blower motors, and could advise me of which ones are good, and which ones will only cost you more in the end. Thanks!
