Personally, I have bought from Z1 a bunch of times and had excellent experience. I have never dealt with FI.

I've bought from both and never had any issues with either one.

Quality of the products the same?

Fitment the same?

After really digging into what you get it looks like the only parts that could be different between the 2 companies are the hoses and brackets. Setrab oil cooler isn't theirs, mocal thermo plate isn't theirs, that leaves the rest. Am I off base?

you're spot on. If you feel good about making your own brackets and hoses, you can do it a little cheaper yourself. All of it is pretty DIY friendly.
