Electric elements for canning

I need a raised electric coil for my cooktop. The recommended one is $66:

Maytag/Jenn air

But there are canning elements for Electrolux & Frigidaire cooktops that are around $20. The construction of them really doesn't look radically different.

Frigidaire

Are these designs really proprietary? Do manufacturers each have their own plug-in systems?

Just wondering if anyone has experience with these and can tell me a canning element is a canning element is a canning element. Or whether I really do have to buck up & pay the extra $40.

Thanks! A friend gave me his mom's old 16 qt. Mirro, & I tried it last night. Needs a new gasket & my regular heating element isn't up to snuff. But when I fix those issues, looks like I've got an old gem. Nice, thick aluminum & shiny to boot! :)
