Used this bearing?

I know the general consensus is that the LN bearing is the "end all" for the IMS bearing fix. Having just had my "new to me" motor turn to a big paperweight after not even 500 track miles (not bearing related but something internal - unknown at this time), and feeling the condition of the bearing during initial tear down, I'm beginning to think that the LN is no better than any other without the additional aid of oiling (it spun rough).
This unit has more bearing surface and has two additional aids to keep it wet while in use. I'm also going accusump this time in addition to the new bearing on another "new to me" motor. May also do the X51 style pan baffle.......not doing a 3rd motor!!!!

Just curious if anyone has used it or knows someone who has? Comments, concerns? Thanks

EDIT: Not sure where link went when I posted this last night
