Whats the cost of these compared to the Wilson's?

The Vickers Duty Magazine is a Wilson mag priced at $54.95.
Taking mine to a Hackathorn class this weekend. I have left it loaded this week trying to break it in.

Just got home. Vickers mag worked fine but it is still very tough to load and is VERY difficult to seat fully loaded. Usually I don't "top-off" my guns I just stick a loaded mag in and strip off the top round. But during these classes you often need to swap out a mag with one in the pipe and the Vickers mag (or my example at least) is super hard to seat. Way worse than even trying to seat a G19/19 mag on closed slide.
Maybe it is just my particular example, but I feel like this mag needs to go back to the drawing board. It needs to 1. Come with lower profile baseplate options and 2. It should seat like a normal Wilson (my Wilson ETMs will easily seat on a closed slide) and 3. it should be as easily loaded as a normal Wilson mag.
Just to be clear though, function has been flawless and the construction is obviously very sturdy.

Had good luck with the 1911 Elite Tactical Magazine, .45 ACP HD/+P, Full-Size, 8 Round flatwire units. Worth the money. Never had problem seating. You may have a funky unit.
All my ETMS seat and run fine.
