Plotter Blades

I am looking at buying replacement blades for my Graphtec plotter. Two companies are selling part [HASHTAG]#CBO9U[/HASHTAG] 45 degree blades. One company is selling them for $11 each, the other is selling 2 for $91. Has anyone noticed a significant difference in quality by suppliers?

I buy the roland blades for my roland compared to the off brand that Wensco sells. It may be just me but I feel that the roland blades last longer. $91 for 2 blades is expensive
 
I buy original, it's $30 for roland and it cuts cleaner and works longer, I replace it every 3 months and use it daily 20-30 minutes. Back in the days I bough chinese blades off ebay like 5 pcs for $3 but quickly realized they are cheap and sh*tty, not worth the hassle.

We use Amazon. Not sure of the seller. Last just as long as any other blade. Cuts the same. Just cheaper. IMO Graphtec is like a printer company the machine doesn't make much money for them. The majority of their money is made on parts/ service/ consumables. Their consumables are priced way too high. We buy blades online and use banner tape instead of a cutting strip.
