I would trust it more than a single row ball bearing, but the price is ridiculous.
I'm glad I have a dual row that will only be replaced with the same.  |
Yes, everything fails in time, but if you read closely Silber's goal, he's looking for the solution that will last the longest. From the known data of ISMB replacements, the LN single row and double row replacements have the fewest failures. While the IMS Solution has sold fewer units and less actual data, there are no reported failures. It information such as this that leads to informed decision in light of imperfect data. That's not guessing nor is it marketing hype. To say so is disingenuous.
