Default Which digital mirror to install?

I have a new F-150 on the way, and coming from a RAM (that has an OEM digital mirror), I'd like one on the new Ford. As I've looked around, I see the Wolf and the Brandmotion. The Wolf mirror looks to be a little better (and lower cost), but the Brandmotion has the camera that can integrate with the 3rd taillight (which I REALLY prefer). As far as the operation, is there anything wrong with the Brandmotion that I should know about beforehand?
Or...does anyone have a better option than these two? I want a setup that's as OEM as possible (meaning the old mirror would come down and the new in it's place, and I want a nice looking, camera integration (preferably in the 3rd light).

Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.

How does the camera on the digital mirror stay clean in an environment with snow, etc? Hell, even rain. I know the backup cameras get caked very easily.

+1, exactly what I was thinking, IMO it’s a lot of hustle to skip some simple physics.

I have the Wolfbox G900pro in my truck. I mounted the rear camera inside the back window. I too had a couple different brand trucks that had a digital rearview and really missed it. My only two complaints are I haven't found a mount for the rear camera that works well. I used the oem mounts, but depending on what's playing, the camera picks up vibration from the radio, not a deal breaker but I'd prefer not to see vibration. My other complaint is the voice command feature is a great idea, but malfunctions too much. The camera system itself works flawless if the voice command is turned off.

The customer service from Wolfbox is top notch.
