It's a no brainer.
Bill, are you saying that folks who go for the cheapest filter have no brains?
Well . . . the better choice can be made without a brain.

Actually I think it is the other way around. Those with a brain coose the Rotax filter, which also happens to be about $5 dollars less expensive than the Tempest.

With the Tempest oil filter I’m seeing at least a 15 degree jump in oil temps. Before installing the Tempest and using the Rotax, my oil temp was @180 and now with the Tempest it’s closer to 200 degrees. Don’t know if it really means anything, except that in my old plane a Cirrus, I used different oil filters and never saw an appreciable change in oil temps. FWIW
