[Poll] Current take on Dynaspark?
Ok, so I know this topic has been beaten to a bloody pulp, but it's been a couple of years now since Bob had that bad batch of sensors go into some of his Dynasparks, and I wanted to know if peoples' experiences have improved since then.
If you had a horror story in 2011, please refrain from telling that story again. I'm looking for anyone's RECENT experiences within the past year or two.
I'll put up a poll to make things easy, but if anyone has good or bad experiences to share (post-2011), then by all means, please do. I'd love to hear them..

I'm just curious. Why an OEM slopti as opposed to a Dynaspark, or some other aftermarket variant?

Because it has a Mitsubishi optical section. That is the heart of the opti and why the cheep ones crap out before their time. If the expensive ones don’t have the Mitsubishi, I don’t think they are any better.

I'm looking for current opinions from other members, not a recommendation. It's not just for me either, thanks..
