The experience that I received with the official was great and it is backed by a company that actually cares about their customers and they test all the new laptops to make sure that everything will continue to work. The bottom line is that though there is a difference between knockoffs and the official one, whether or not you will really care about those difference is entirely up to you. The Optibay is now only 50 dollars, when I bought it, it was about 100 with shipping and handling but came with the enclosure for free. The enclosure was very bare bones and was plastic but it was a nice gesture and it works. Pretty convenient but not entirely necessary. I was able to keep the DVD drive and it even works on my other macs.
Also, when I purchased mine, it came with a free DVD drive enclosure, which works great and it didn't require me to go and acquire one somewhere else.
It was made of thin sturdy metal and felt more rigid, like it was going to last. It was a full thin metal chassis that seems like it would hold it more solidly and not jitter around. It is light and wasn't just a plastic skeleton that held the drive like the knock off. Now, I am someone who likes build quality, and the official optibay was superior to the knockoff one that I purchased before that. Later on I purchased a newer computer not too long ago, I decided to buy the actual official optibay. It was a cheap plastic little skeleton of a mount and did the job it said it would do.
You can obviously buy a knock off optibay at a lower price, I did when I bought my first one, and for the most part it does the job it says that it will do. You won't really be able to do it without one.
