NGK/NTK sensors vs Bosch sensors

Hi I have a Golf iv and the lambda sensors (bosch) seem to be very expensive.
I need to replace them and all lambda supplier seem to sell the NGK, including lambdapower.co.uk, eurocarparts.com etc.
costing around £80. (can be got for £70 with clever coupon magic on carparts4less)
The only people selling the orignal Bosch ones are VW dealers and they charge a whopping £170 a sensor!
Any difference between the NGK and Bosch? I know that you shouldn't use cheap lambdas as they often get obliterated within a few months as they can't stand the heat, so they have to be replaced soon after.

NGK are one of the biggest and most respected companies in the world for car engine electrics. As long as the NGK ones really are NGK, don't let the price fool you into thinking they're a cheap rip-off - all you're not paying for is the "OEM" label!0
