i haven't had any issues with mine yet. you can't see me, but i'm knocking on wood.

Hmm yours have survived without any crystal failure... From where did you score yours? Maybe they use a different crystal setup than the other makers?

So to sum it up - the ones that are available at the moment are no good and better to wait some more?

I do get very very tempted in buying a rep one after reading chefcooks thread of a gen but I guess I have to wait some more then
