1986 240 DL Brake junction block

Is the 'brake junction block' synonymous with the 'pressure differential warning valve'?

My Haynes manual refers to this part as the 'pressure differential warning valve'. Yet, on ipd, the replacement part is called the brake junction block. I just want to confirm that these parts are the same thing.

Moreover, my 86 is rather beat up, and while I would like to keep it forever, I am typically looking for saving money rather than going to OE parts when possible. Does anyone have any experience with the aftermarket brake junction block from ipd?

ipd sells an aftermarket brake junction block for ~$67. OE is ~$165. (see link)

I've been using the aftermarket junction block for about 6 months without any issues.

I will be ordering the aftermarket junction block from iPd. Thank you radchad for your thoughts on the issue.
