Worth the Extra Cost: No Extra Tools Needed, Good Performance So Far, and Spare Feet

Pros:- This battery is spec'ed a little better than the OEM battery.- Package included a small Phillips screwdriver (for removing the bottom cover) and a small "tri-point" screwdriver (for removing the battery).- Package also included a set of four feet for the bottom of the MBP. IMO, this was a /very/ nice touch. I'm not sure how many users lose their MBP feet over the years, so getting spares should help ensure a satisfied customer.- Package /also/ included a keyboard cover (for those who keep their MBP open all the time, I suppose).- After two charge-and-drain cycles, the MBP estimated 11 hours of battery (with no CPU load at the time). I'll update this review after a few months to see how well the battery ages in the short term.Cons:- The metal used to make the tri-point screwdriver might be a little soft; the blades began to flake a little while replacing the tri-point screws, so this screwdriver might be intended for a single use and not as a permanent resident of the tool box. (Make sure no screwdriver flakes fall into the MBP. If they do, get them out before they cause a short.)Full-Disclosure Note: The package came with a "coupon", offering a "$10 Reward" for "an honest opinion of this product". Given the effectiveness of the battery so far, and the apparent thoughtfulness of the packaging (including the needed screwdrivers, spare MBP feet, and a keyboard cover for the spill-prone), the seller does not need this coupon to entice a good review. I will not be redeeming the coupon.
