I would have thought that the mount is critical in that the failures would appear to show that it is subject to (torsional?) forces which cause it to fail. That said i cannot say that i have noticed any significant change in engine vibration/movement when drving the car. But it has been up on jacks for the last week since a caliper seized and the calipers are away for refurbishment and so i havent driven it much since the mount was replaced!
