Air filter

I went to Advance Auto Parts to get an air filter for my 2003 7.3 PSD Ex. Purolator had two different ones. The first one (A25485) was called Heavy Duty. The other was not. Are these good filters for the Excursions? I bought the Heavy Duty one. Should I take it back?

Was there a price difference between the 2? I BELIEVE (not sure if it's fact or not) that the "heavy duty" filter has a prefilter on it (fiber mesh stuff) in addition to the pleated paper, whereas the standard is just the regular old pleated paper. Not sure which one is the better one, but I'm sure they'll both work just fine.
