Lost the charger for my Pentax Optio 555. Do y'all think I should go Pentax ($50) or aftermarket ($15)?

Hopefully a little more info will inspire a greater response. I'm concerned about the aftermarket version but money is tight for me right now.

The pentax charger is model K-BC7U, and B&H is selling it online for $48.

There are a couple of aftermarket choices.
1800emart is offering one for $20.

BlueNook.com is offering a different one for $13.

Personally, without experience in such matters, I'd go for the cheap one. If it doesn't do what it says it will do, send it back. Just make sure it is intended to charge your battery.
