Phasor Impeller

I just recently bought replacement impellers for my main Ford Lehman 135 and my Phasor generator. The impellers look identical with the exception of the inner splines. But, the Lehman impeller cost $32 and the Phasor (Kuboda) impeller was $88! Just curious why such a huge price difference and if anyone knows of a cheaper replacement for the Phasor OEM. Thanks.

Which model and year? My Phasor uses an Oberdorfer pump and impellers can be found on eBay.
We just had an impeller failure a couple months ago at almost exactly 500 hours from new but 4 years of age. The rubber impeller separated from the metal barrel that it is “glued” to while just running along. We were eating dinner when the exhaust sounds changed radically out of nowhere. Later I pulled the pump cover and cranked the engine. The rubber vanes sat still while the shaft spun. Easy fix for a change.

LP1-3.5KW. I'm not sure of the year, probably mid-80's.
