Default AR15 lower receiver: difference in quality? Or Am I paying for the name?

Hello,
I'm looking at buying a AR15 lower receiver without the stock (I have an extra one already.) I've found 3 on one website, they all claim they're high quality and forged. They include Stagarms $139, Rock River Arms for $158, and Bushmaster for $209. I've heard a lot of good things about Bushmaster, but I've also heard some about RRA. And Stagarms claim they produce lower receivers for a large unnamed manufacture. Is there significant differences between these receivers, or am I just going to pay for the name?

If they can't name the mfg then it doesn't matter what they say. I would go with the RRA...probably one of the toughest and most exacting lowers out there.

I might be wrong, but my understanding is that there are only a couple of companies that make AR receivers and they sell them to the big name gun companies.
