Dorman harmonic balancer quality?

So was replacing my timing belt and such and the stupid crank bolt was on so tight that we broke the harmonic balancer trying to get it off. Dealership quoted $450 and online seems to be cheaper but still pricey. The cheapest seem to be Dorman anyone have experience with this product? Quality good?
This job is starting to be a pain and more expensive than taking it to a mechanic.
Once again thanks

I have known others to use Dorman products (just not on 4runners) and have them do fine; it just is not up to OEM quality IMHO. As long as it works for ya, enjoy the TB change.
