Any difference between Nippon and Fuji thermostats?

I'm looking to get an OEM thermostat for my 2004 Honda Civic LX and I saw that there are two different part numbers/place of manufacture for the thermostat that fits my car. The part numbers are 19301-PLC-315 and 19303-REA-305:

Is there any difference between the two apart from price? The Nippon one retails for $9 more. Is it better?

Thanks in advance

They may have changed suppliers at some point. I checked torontohondaparts.com and they were the same price for the fuji and the nippon. I'm sure either one would be fine

Different suppliers, no other significant differences.

Try entering your VIN instead of picking out your car by model and year, maybe that can eliminate a choice.

Okay, thank you both. I entered my VIN and it still had the two options so I just went ahead and got the cheaper one. Hopefully it works out okay. Cheers!
