Question Condenser shot! Replacement recommendation

hello folks! Well.... It's hot as hell out here in Philly and for the second year in a row, I have NO COLD AIR! Need a recommendation on a quality replacement. I'm seeing prices all over the map. Is there a difference between one for lets say $50 and one for $13? My guy ran that leak detector thru and showed me that indeed it was venting from condenser. Your help will GREATLY keep me cool and road rage free this summer....

sure its not just an o ring that needs to be replaced? if its leaking at the "nut", that may be all that is needed and then to evac and recharge the system.

I had to replace my condenser on my Monte. It was proven not to be an o-ring in my case due to where the dye seen with a black light was. And when I replaced it, part of it was oily from a recent recharge that just bled out.
I either got a Spectre or Four Seasons one from RockAuto.com. I want to say it was about $60. There are some o-rings you need to replace that are NOT included. I ended up buying some crazy o-ring kit from Autozone and it had what I needed.
