DSi XL Digitisers - Any close to OEM?

[JomasterII]

Hey guys, bit of a newbie question, but I'm planning on replacing the digitiser on the third (long story) second-hand DSi XL I've bought recently (Bottom screen's a bit scuffed up, but top screen didn't have any issues which is what's important) and I was wondering if you guys have any knowledge on where one could pick up some really good quality digitisers, ones that have a more glossy finish than the matte ones you usually see online.

Update; decided to buy two from different sellers. I'm hoping that at least one of them is good. They were both labeled as 'Gloss' so...

XLs are bloody expensive nowadays, at least in Australia. The first one I bought was from Japan and that had some horrible image retention issues so I decided to spring for some domestic units that were about $50 a pop before postage; and that's on the lower end. Usually these things go for $100+ at your local Cashies or on eBay.
The digitisers were about $14 (after postage) for the first one off eBay and $6 (after postage and tax) from AliExpress. The Ali ones have arrived about a minute ago (good timing, postie) so I'll give those a squiz when I can.

i should have used my mod tools. assumed you was from Europe or the States. but yes Australia is another story.

Update: Worst case scenario. Not only is the digitiser matte, but after I switched the digitiser, the unit's not powering on anymore. Orange flashing light while charging, so I'm assuming I broke something relating to the power connector while constantly disassembling and reassembling the thing trying to get the digitiser looking right, and since I can't solder and don't have the money for a setup I'm a bit buggered. Blaaaargh. At least I did it on the one with the bad screens, so that's not too much of a loss. :v
