Rest assured Brett - they are the real deal IMO (although I cannot vouch for those items you purchased, but do use similar concept screens sourced from another supplier). Some of the cafes have been using them for 8 months now and still going strong - whereas the standard SS's were being replaced after about 6 - 8 weeks (with about half that period where the screen was operating below standard). Particularly useful if like me you are a member of the over-dosing, gorilla-tightened, pump-squealing, super-shot fancier's club !.
