As a cosmetic thing too, it comes with the darkened strip at the bottom etc. I originally had a 'normal' mazda 6 one put in from obriens and it didnt have the strip down the bottom (or a very thin version) from inside the car you could clearly see the windscreen wipers and this really bothered me, so thats when I rang Mazda to see if there were any differences between the 6 and the MPS6 one.
If you have windscreen insurance as part of your road side or insurance policy they should cover the cost of replacing with an OEM one. If thats the case Id definitely be getting the OEM MPS one put back in there
