We stopped using the Meyle lifters about a year ago due to quality issues.
Two engines in one month with one or more failed Meyle lifters was all it
took for us to spend the extra $'s.

I do sell both though:  $19.44 for the Febi;  $10.05 for the Meyle.

Cheers,

Any thought if the newer Febi design has less of a tendency to bleed
down?

The Febi lifter changed it's design several years ago.  They now have a
small disc inside as the check valve.  They also use a much beefier snap
ring to hold the lifter together.

Let me know if I can help you further,
