Eagle vs China ebay

Eagle vs China ebay
So ive got some Eagle rods and ebay China rods here. Here's an visual inspection and weights. All 4 ebay rods were 532g with bolts. 3 of the Eagles weighed in at 534g with bolts with one at 536g. You can see that the eagles are thicker front to back but the ebays are thicker side to side. I also noticed the ebay have 3 in line oil ports for the pin while the Eagle has 2 offset ports. The ebay and eagle arp 2000 bolts look exactly the same minus the eagle stamp. The lip around the crank section is thicker on the Eagle. Also on the Eagle you can see a ridge down the rod arm itself. Machining looks equal on both with the Eagles looking maybe more precise.
Eagle: 341.00
Ebay: 291.06
Havent seen an online comparison before so here ya go. Which do you think is the better grab at only a 50$ price difference.
I am in no way an expert and have basic tools nothing precise.

Here’s my non scientific take on it. IMHO The eBay rods would be at least double the strength of the OEM rods. I would think about changing out the fake arp bolts for real arp. However this would probably throw the overall price over Eagles. Now’s your opportunity to do so destructive tests on them both for all of us😉

These two look entirely different oddly enough. Different widths both ways? Different holes, and the ridge. But im not sure.

I weighed a factory rod and it was 540gr. I have a set of manley's for sale so I decided to weigh them and also compare the big end weights since that is were most of the inertia occurs. The OE BE weighed 474gr and the manley was 406gr. I did not expect that large of a difference since the manley uses larger bolts.
