Some will say '3rd party weighs less' <- I don't think they do. HEPA filters weigh more after 6+ months of use given the particles they collect - it's a noticeable weight difference. Same weight delta for changing 3rd party to 3rd party as it was changing from OG to 3rd party.
All that being said, if you're not convinced of 3rd party, this is a rare deal for OG filters for only 20 or 25 more than the linked bit.
EDIT: I actually went for a S&S for the third party one you linked at 42 USD for next year's refresh.

Thanks for any more input you can give.
Having just switched the filters through the entire house (The 400, the smaller conway, and a winix) I do definitely perceive a difference and am less sniffly, but also who TF knows what is going on with the weather as of late, so I'm sure it's wrapped up in the crazy stuff going around after a drought, etc. as much as filter replacement. Beyond filter replacement, I'd consider playing with location, speed, and auto for placement.
As much as I stand by the third party filters the other Slickdealer linked, if you're on the fence for your first switch go for the Conways at this price so you don't second guess the effectiveness of it. The third party ones will stay about 50% less when the next set of OGs give out so you can mark the difference on the switch after you've sussed what a 'proper' replacement looks like. As I mentioned in the other post, this is a great deal for OG filters if you don't believe in 3rd party.
EDIT: If the question was a general 'do you find them effective?' absolutely yes. But that's after some objective thought put into it after doing HEPAs for about 3 years pretty hard - the first year or so I'd shrug if you asked me how much of a difference they make - after rocking them for a while I've just noticed fewer respiratory issues. They're a very fluid sort of product though - you won't get effective use out of them if you're not savvy on how air flows through your joint and space. In general, auto mode aside, you don't need to be running these things if you're not home or in a different section of the house as the area will go back to normal pretty quickly when it isn't actively filtering. A.k.a. if you switch it on an hour before you get home you'll find the same air quality if you had been running it continually for 8 hours, etc. I put a lot of thought if I'm in a room and can close the door, leave it open, or where the doggoes are hanging which makes a big difference in effectiveness IMO. It becomes as second nature as messing with a light switch when I enter a room but YMMV.

At any rate I think I'll just go with the 3rd party link. Just been scared because you never know if the comments and answers are from Coway people/fans, if they saw one comment online and decided that that must be true so now they spread the lie elsewhere, or if it's just a person that got a HEPA because they were scared of COVID and don't know any better. Meaning they are healthy already and they wouldn't know a difference between Coway and Aftermarket. So I have been hesitant to save the money. You convinced me otherwise. Enough at least to where I'll give it a shot. Thanks.
edit to your edit: Thanks for that info. Makes sense.
