The Purolator equivalent filters were already this short. The Motorcraft was longer.
The Purolator filters have more media in them because they don't have a big base end bypass valve taking up room that could be occupied by a taller "cartridge".
If I were to use a filter other than a Motorcraft, it would be a Purolator Pure ONE. Better filtering media, and lots more of it.
