Product review (5 stars): The business end is closer to the spray arm so with the food gets cleaned off better. 2
As close to the OEM part as is possible.
The only difference I could detect was that the color had changed very slightly.
But who cares ?! It's in the flipping dishwasher for crying out loud!
The other difference is that now my silverware is not falling out the bottom.

We put our silverware in points down for these reasons:
1. The business end is closer to the spray arm so with the food gets cleaned off better.
2. When we take the silverware out, we're not handling the part that will go in our mouths so it's more sanitary.
3. There is less chance we'll get stabbed or poked by a fork or knife when we go to remove them.
4. It's easier. We don't need to handle the greasy end of the silverware when we put it in.

Try it.  The only downside is that the basket will wear out a very tiny bit faster from the abrasion of the knife edges.
