Window Regulator Question

I have a '98 Boxster and the driver's side window doesn't drop enough anymore when I open the door. I do hear the motor when I pull the handle. I tried the zip tie trick to tension the wire, but it didn't solve the issue. So I believe I need a new window regulator. I've read a lot of threads here and I believe the general belief is that the various OEM options are hit or miss. They often visually look different (so perhaps not OEM). I'm hoping this is a quick project (e.g. mark where the existing window regulator is to minimize and/or avoid having to adjust the new one). My question is...
  1. Should I simply purchase a genuine Porsche window regulator for around $300'ish
  2. Buy a used from a dismantler for around $90
  3. Other options?
