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.
