Is it possible that Volvo is carrying second rate motor mounts these days?

In tying to discover why my engine and tranny seem to move too much for having 8 month old, Volvo motor mounts, and a 2 month old Febi/Bilstein tranny mount, I have been searching old posts. This one from Lucid, 5 years ago, indicates that Volvo list price for motor mounts was about $35 ea. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/volvo/1237619/220/240/260/280/tasca_url_price_correction.html

If you search the same part numbers now, MSRP is $21.

Is it more likely that the American dollar is worth so much more now than it was in 2007 that prices have dropped, or that Volvo has sourced cheaper mounts?

I don't remember the tranny mount having much to do with how far the drivetrain moves; that's more of a motor mount function.

Just thinking things through.
