Default motor mounts big price differences

2004 trailblazer LT - 4.2L 4WD
Planning to replace both motor mounts. Prices have a huge range from $10.84 ea (Anchor brand) (others- $41.99, $53.64, $85.34, $91.49) to $191 - (AC Delco). The Anchor brand says it's made to OEM specs with a 1 yr warranty.
Does anyone have experience with the cheaper ones?

Why such a price range for a simple motor mount?

Unless you want to replace your motor mounts every so often, stay away from aftermarket motor mounts and go with OEM. As the saying goes, pay once, cry once. Stay away from Autozone's brand, Advance Auto Parts brand, O'Reilly's brand, Anchor, Weststar, FVP, etc. Go with the GM Genuine motor mounts from rockauto.com where they sell for $79.79 each.

GM Part Number 15062381.
