It's coating could fail, or it's twist/adjust mech could fail, or the mounting could fail.

Frankly, if it is a genuine product from a reliable name, then I'd say failure is only likely with clumsy handling, so go for the import.

If it's a clone of a big name brand however I'd be very wary of spending that much cash.

I'd imagine for HN this is not a very big item. They won't be buying these things in the hundreds of items per month, so in that respect they can partly justify a bigger margin, as it will sit on a shelf a whole lot longer.
