I agree with you fully UNLESS an xRef part is better than one from a DeLo vendor. Those are of course very few and far between. FelPro valve cover gaskets do come to mind (rubber vs paper). I also prefer single piece heater core shutoff valves over the OEM style (no external linkage between the diaphragm and butterfly plate). But the vast majority of DeLorean parts are best (and easiest) delivered to your front door from a vendor.
