Just checked, I paid $120 each for my 2 extra batteries, at Park Square 
Camera, many years ago.

If you paid $10 each and you went through a dozen, then you just broke even
vs the $120 battery. If you paid $15, which is more likely, then you would
have been ahead with the $120 battery. No brainer: get the genuine one.

P.S. I had to pay $135, if I remember correctly. Where do you get them for
$120?

Question authority and the authorities will question you.
