Default [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..

Hmm, nobody's bought a Dynaspark after 2011 huh? Nobody knows anyone else who bought one either? Are these guys at Ft. Wayne that unpopular these days?

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..
