I haven't read a bad review and some people have been running them for years. My experience is only one year - so far no issues. I do not believe these are a good solution/option for high performance applications. They may be okay...but if it were me I would stick with track-oriented products if I were doing frequent HPDEs.

And you could have them cyrogenic'd for a very small charge, and then they will last a dang long time.
