Default Felpro Headgaskets question

Going NA-T soon and I'm aware the supra TT OEM head gasket will do just fine for the amount of boost and horsepower I'll be achieving. My question though is: The OEM TT headgasket from Toyota is $135 and the Felpro headgasket is only $42 dollars. Felpro is a pretty reputable brand, but should I trust that price difference?
