It's mechanically more perfect (ask for one of each at the parts counter - I asked for a 94 Durango starter - and see for yourself - it's a hell of a comparison when you lift and see them!) and I'd bet on it lasting about 100,000 miles longer, but it bothers me. Its' high-pitched sound reminds me of the starter on my motorcycle and other small cars. To be fair, that's its lineage, but it doesn't sound like a real imperial. If you care about that, beware. If you care about having a better, lighter, tighter, modern starter, the ND unit is the way to go, despite a small bump in price. I'll likely revert to the old clunkers, as I use the cars for pleasure and originality is my thing. That and I know just enough about what the car "should" be that its sound bothers me, despite the obviously irrational choice that I'll make in sticking with the "worse" stock unit. Almost every Imp that I have gotten and been serious about has had its starter replaced, often under undesireable circumstances (in a parking lot).
