You could fit both within a couple of minutes with ease.

Afaik the only difference is the back of them have a small duct type channel which the fakes don't... Seriously not worth the extra cash, you could spend the savings on a complete set of interior chrome switches.

My girlfriend has a set of replica ones fitted to her GTI, you can not tell the difference unless you stare at them long enough.
