I have experience with Wolf panels. With the value of the cars now, you should spring for an original.
I have two front floor panels from Wolf and they were not exact fitting for my Duetto. Daron at VC made them fit, and it's OK, but not a good as they could have been.
You need to remember maybe your upfront is higher, but after you are through cleaning up the used panel, which may have things you didn't notice, you will probably end up with the used panel costing more than the new one.

Are you doing the bodywork yourself, or farming it out? If you know of a shop that will do good work around Puget Sound, let me know. I have some detailing that needs doing.

Classic Alfa sells the whole quarter and Wolf Panel has it but I've not heard good things about their fit in general. If someone has experience with this particular panel from them, I'm all ears. They are 1/3 of the cost of Classic Alfa's panel.

The same logic applies to poor-fitting replacement panels. While supplier "A" may offer a replacement for a third the price of supplier "B", after you have paid your shop to make it fit, your final cost may be higher (and resultant quality lower).

On the other hand, if you are cost-sensitive, doing the installation yourself and enjoy spending time solving these problems, the lower-cost panel may be the right choice.

I'm doing the work myself. But I don't do paint!!
I've almost completed a mid 70s Spider. One challenge was replacing the spare tire well. That one separates the men from the boys.
The Duetto will need all floor pans replaced. And the front part of the rockers. The right rear panel I'm after is covered in bondo, hence the need for just a piece of it, not the whole quarter panel.

Paint really isn't that hard. What you need though is single stage, and an eye. We painted my 69 Veloce in the open garage in 1975. We hosed the floor down and sprayed in the morning (gasp)! Wetted the walls then hung some clear plastic in appropriate places.
It was beautiful.
Harborfreight makes throwaway guns that I really like. They spray guud. Get yourself some sanding paper down to 2000 grit for your drips then polish away after. It will look great.
No, I'm not kidding. Ahhhh, those days of all your stuff for $50.
