You are overlooking the obvious: The Pelican bearing is a stock bearing, but in a single row configuration only, and used with a "spacer" in dual row applications. The single row design is the weakest and most failure prone style IMS; so you are taking out one of the strongest designs and replacing it with one of the weakest to save a few bucks................
