OEM vs. Third Party Hitch XC90

Hi!

I just took delivery of a 2019 XC90. I am thinking about putting a hitch on it, in order to use a hitch-mount bike rack. Given the height to get the bikes up there, the concern for clearance issues, aerodynamic impact, and limiting the view from the gorgeous moonroof, I'd rather not do roof mount.

Am I better off getting the OEM hitch, or looking for a third party to install one (assuming I find a competent vendor)? Any ballpark idea about the respective costs?
