Anyone using aftermarket fuel filters?

So I was wondering if anyone would recommend using an aftermarket filter like these.

Aeromotive, for use with AN fittings.

I'm using rubber lines (for now), so they even offer some with barbed fittings.

In my opinion, it makes it easier next time the fuel filter needs to be replaced. Just unscrew the housing and slap in a new filter.
The replacement filters are cheaper than dirt too.

I guess in the long run price could be a little cheaper.
I was mainly interested in getting an aftermarket filter due to the serviceability, and possibly better filtration than a stock unit.

the aereo automotive filter is very nice I have used them in the past (not on a 7) however in most cases the stock filter is plenty enough...

goood luck on your purchase if u go aftermarket shoot some pics.

I guess it depends on application (racing/street), and how **** RETENDENT you are if you just want to spend the buck for better filtration.. :0)

FYI
Some of the filters on the Jegs site aren't rated for high pressure fuel injection.

Where can I get it for $15? A fuel filter is $30 on Mazdatrix.
