The pricing I found for the parts was for the same part numbers.

If the price was for a capacitor and condenser fan motor, it was a very fair price. Motor prices have escalated rapidly over the past several years. OEM motors are higher than after market motors, but I've found they are worth the extra cost. I used to replace motors with Daytons from Grainger, because the company told me I had to. I could purchase an OEM motor from Trane, Carrier, etc., replace it, and it would last years. If you got a year out of a Dayton, I was lucky. The cheap sealed sleeve bearings would go bad, and the shafts would freeze up. Most importantly, you now have Air Conditioning!
