Think you made a very smart decision. If mine ever starts to fail will use OEM parts and match balance.

I use the OEM balancer since I have never had to replace it. 81,000 miles and still going strong. Not worried about it, or any of the other so-called "dreaded" issues that have never affected my car or owning experience.

A smart decision to replace a known piece of junk with the same piece if junk? Have you ever replaced a balancer on these cars...its not a simple task especially if you have to pin it. Why in the hell would you go thru that hassle and replace junk with junk?
