OP's high capacity battery could be related to his location. The vehicle is the Gulf version. ETK explicitly states that if the original battery is 90Ah, the replacement must be 92Ah, P/N 61216924023. It's a $400 part in the U.S., so it's not surprising to see it priced over $500 in Saudi Arabia.

However, there's absolutely no need to buy an OEM battery from a dealer. That Bosch battery will work just fine (it's the correct size and specs). The only problem is that since you're getting a battery with different specs from the original, you definitely need to register it. If you don't have any tools, the easiest option is to get Carly. The software with the adapter will run you $100 or so, but it has tons of other uses besides battery registration.

(Extra hat tip to the OP for listing the vehicle VIN - much easier to give a good answer this way.)
