O2 sensor, whats the difference?

Mazdatrix sells an O2 sensor for $127.29
rx7.com sells an O2 sensor for $40.00
O'Reilly auto parts sells an O2 sensor for $17.99

Now I know that sometimes parts can be cheaply made, but really, 500% more from mazdatrix? Considering the ease of replacement, would it be worth it for me to try the O'Reilly o2 or could I actually damage something here.

I bought one from Auto Zone for $27.00 or so... it's a single wire. Like the stock one. All I had to do was splice the new O2 sensor's wire with the old O2 sensor's connector and then plug them in.

It even comes with a little kit and instructions on how to splice them together.

The Mazdatrix one is so expensive because it already has a new connector, so it's plug and play.
