Same price and you know the blinker works.
I was running the 2357s until I just now installed the LED tail lights that Bob from ERA posted about a couple weeks ago. They are a bit better (brighter) for brakes and turn signals. The brake/signal filament is likely to have a shortened life compared to a 1157 bulb but if you don't want to mess with LEDs or LEDs won't work with your flasher system, they are a good alternative.
