I got an Original Floyd Rose to replace the Washburn one on my guitar. But, after receiving it, I'm starting to question if it's really worth changing it. With the guitar being brand new, there's really nothing wrong with the Washburn one. I'm just used to the longevity and reliability of an OFR. I'm wondering if I should just return it and get my money back? What are your guys opinions?

The couple Washburn USA MG guitars I owned in the past had Washburn labeled FRs but they were made in Germany by Schaller, some consider them better than OFRs.
 
Those are not the Schallers, though, that looks like the Takeuchi licensed stuff you saw everywhere in the late 1990s. Decent enough units, though, a lot better than the real generic stuff and probably the best that isn´t german OFR/Schaller or Gotoh.
