I have tried the copy-cat options twice, two different types from eBay (blue B&m copies).

From my experience they are inferior. Feel great for a while, but the assembly loosened up horribly over time. It apparently has a much sloppier design tolerance. Lots of left to right movement of the stick, before the carrier even moves.
I was going to replace it anyway, so I attempted to disassemble it and rebuild it out of curiosity. I found that the bearing had destroyed itself also (groves and misplaces ball-bearings).

Now looking for a genuine B&M or Porsche..... anyone have a used one?
