Has anyone tried the aftermarket CAV style injectors?

I've seen a lot of aftermarket CAV injectors for cheap while looking for a replacement injector for my MF50E. I'm wondering how good these can be at around 60 bucks each.
Anybody have any first hands knowledge about them?

I was planning to have mine rebuilt, but one of them came out in pieces. Gotta buy one for sure. I'm trying to figure out if I should just buy all new aftermarket or have my 3 rebuilt.

They won’t have the correct tip OR the right opening pressure..
I don’t know how they get away with it.??!!
They list 25 different engines or tractors this 1 injector fits.. it doesn’t work like THAT..
There a pn on your injectors..
Ex: DES: 5222107
It’s usually stamped on the body of the injector..

That makes sense. So body may be right, but nothing inside? I assumed they must be China junk at that price point.

I emailed you last week about my injector pump and injectors. I'm going to need to find a fourth injector before I send everything off. If you're rebuilding anyway, can I buy a used CAV injector with different part number if it's the same physical size? Or do I need to find the exact number I have?
