the figure that is thrown about by nissens is "30% stronger." i've never heard of a nissens neck breaking and even the original unreinforced behr necks take many years to break. i'm not sure that comparing new behr with reinforced neck and nissens with unreinforced is all that meaningful as neither shows any tendency to break.
it's like the guys who have to have the brass reinforced inline fuel filters. i mean, if you find them cool, buy em, but it's not like a cheaper unreinforced hengst or bosch is going to break on you anyway. it is pretty comical how a guy must have brass and then on the same order will buy a super cheap chinese control arm. who is he trying to kid?
