It's fairly common in the business world to exchange one brand of part for another based on availability. It has happened to me numerous times over the years. While I prefer the 'name brand' I thought I would get I've never had a problem with a substitution.

I recently ordered a camshaft for a Healey motor I'm building. The substituted a later engine model cam instead of the one I specifically ordered. I talked to tech support and it became clear I was getting a product equal to or better than what I orginially ordered, I'll keep it.

I could have waited who knows how long for the 'back ordered' cam to come in if I insisted on having the one I originally ordered...
