Replacement headlights from Hella or Magneti Marelli?

(Xenon) headlights on our 2009 R56 are fairly yellow and scuffed up. I've had someone polish them, which was an improvement for a while, but we intend to keep the car and I'm thinking of replacing.

I see ECS Tuning has original 'Mini' parts, and also versions from Hella and Magneti Marelli. I've heard of both companies, and know Hella has a good reputation--they may well be original equipment suppliers.

Has anyone installed either of these as replacement? Have opinions of quality versus Mini parts?

Thanks,
Heath

Magneti Marelli is usually just a re-box of another manufacturers product, just like Febi/Bilstien does with things they don't make in house.
