I respect Steve Weiner's opinion, and he has stated that the JEs cannot compete with the Mahles on longevity. It is up to you whether the $1600 margin in cost is worth it, according to your intended use of the car. For a mostly street engine, with maximum reliability expected, I would get the Mahle set.
