Personally I would not do it. Cheap Chinese made beds can work, but can also catch fire or whatever. For a quality printer you should also buy good replacement parts, to be on the safe side.
I added a china bed to ultimaker one many years ago. no problems up to now... make certain to use adequate wiring though since your fires are more likely to start there.
Thanks Bob, still undecided and so checking all current wiring and soldered joints to try and pinpoint problem but if I have no success then will go for the cheaper option but carefully.

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
