Meeting the same spec doesn't mean the products are in any way the same. It just means they both meet the same minimum standards.
Supertech is a group 3 synthetic which is actually made from heavily refined conventional oil. Mobil 1 is a "true" group 4 synthetic, with a man-made base stock.
There's nothing inherently wrong with a group 3, most Castrol, Quaker State, and other "synthetics" are in fact group 3s. I use Shell Rotella synthetic in my motorcycle. If offered at a lower price than Mobil 1 they can be a good value if they're a fit for your application.
For a turbo Saab, I stick with Mobil 1.
