I'm not so sure it's actually okay for manufactures to say using aftermarket parts voids the warranty - they need to prove it's actually your fault the device is broken (America's Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act). If you've seen those little stickers over screws that say "warranty void if removed" - those are actually illegal (in America).
