Personal research into oil filters
The article is for peugeots, but might be interesting for scoobs and other cars also..
I've just written it up here, makes for interesting reading.
As a conclusion you can the difference between a Purolator vs. a Mann & Hummel:
I also show the unit cost of the later is cheaper and provides 70% more filtration surface area

agreed. It could be the case that the additional filter surface area means the bypass valve opens more, and therefore less filtration is actually performed.
You can also buy M&H filters without bypass valves, but that model also comes without anti leak back valves, so you'd have to mount it vertically (using a remote filter mechanism), rather than horizontally like most OEM fitments
