A perfect MAC Satin Taupe dupe?

Yesterday I discovered something that has been right under my nose for a very long time.. Satin Taupe by MAC is one of my all time favourite eyeshadow colors. As the name imply, it's a satin taupe color with a very light gold sheen too it. It's beautiful! But it is 12£ pr. shadow. That is a ridiculous amount off money - yes I am a student and therefore by definition ''poor''.
So being ''poor'' makes you wanna search and find alternatives, and yesterday that is what I found!

MF on the left, MAC on the right
One off my first shadows ever, was one of the Earth Spirits shadows from Maxfactor. Fantastic shadows for 6£ each (half the price off MAC and always on sale somewhere). It is the color Burnt Bark - a beautiful taupe color with satin fine shimmers.

Now, comparing the two colors I find them too be extremely similar! The only difference is that the MAC one has only a gold sheen too it, where the MF one has more off a fine shimmery finish and a slight nuance cooler than the Satin Taupe.
In texture they are both really similar as well. The MF one is a really good pigmented shadow right up there with MAC (I might not repurchase satin taupe anymore!).
   
The picture shows the color a bit more reddish brown than the colors really are in natural light - they are a slight nuance more cool toned. They look pretty similar don't you think?
