I have always felt that the longevity of a system is related to several factors. First the equipment must be reliable. But the biggest factor is the quality of the installing company. Many times I have seen perfectly good systems tossed out onto scrap heap only because the customer had no idea what it was capable of - mostly due to the ineptness of the installing interconnect.
