Bravo 3 steering shaft

I am in the process of locating parts for a gimbal ring replacement on my 1999 330FV.  WOW! Expensive is an understatement.  Has anyone used the stainless steel upper steering shaft instead of the OEM part?  $100 for the SS and $350 for the OEM.  Don't want to save money and have a premature failure though.  Any thoughts or insights into where may be good places to find good deals on parts or on the repair itself would be very much appreciated.
