Solenoid recommendations

Evening all

I’m in need of some new VANOS solenoids (p/n 11367585425) for my 3.0si. Does anyone have any non-OEM recommendations or should I go for something like VDO at £90 a pop?

Backstory, I was receiving error code 2A82 (mechanically jammed intake solenoid). I switched the solenoids around and cleared the codes. Then got 2a85 (mechanically jammed outlet solenoid). So I an assuming that replacing one of the solenoids will fix this. Should I replace both?

Thanks for any recommendations
 
I fitted 2 Chinese copies 20000 miles and almost 3 years ago and still going strong. I just bought them on ebay.:

Personally I would recommend them.
 
Thanks Rucky. Just what I was hoping to hear.

I work for a company that sells both OEM and Spares (not automotive) and the mark-up on spares is staggering.
