Fair enough. Dealers suck yes.

Yes unfortunately there are a lot of knock off stuff out there - some is good, some not so good so I try to buy on the basis of word of mouth.
A genuine Hitachi costs about the same as a genuine AMK - somewhere around $1300 but you can buy knockoffs down to about $400 for either (with the AMK style you also need a fitting kit if changing from a Hitachi). I was looking as these cheapies but got warned off so went the rebuild route of my Hitachi - the main thing I learned is that the mechanics of the air system is actually pretty basic once you are forced to do it yourself.

This seems to be the best kit I've found that appears to be genuine AMK:

And a knock off 'AMK Type':
