Default Anybody still using e-cutouts?

Curious if anybody out here has experience with electric cutouts recently? I know DMH had the best reputation 5-6 years back, but has QTP or any other brand stepped up their game?

My QTP has been working flawlessly since installing 5 years ago.

I have a QTP on my car and it has been basically fine, I had a set screw that attached the blade to the motor back out and fall off which made it like an exhaust flap on a dump truck, but I replaced+loctited it in place and it's been fine since.

What about the Doug's headers version: it seems to have less of chance to develop a leak?
