Nothing is bullet proof!!! I believe that if it is mechanical it will break. Of all the companies, sonnax seams to be having the best "results", not that it is the "best" because I feel that is a matter of opinion.

All else being equal, "if you wanna play, gotta pay".

Remember that the heaver the converters are, the more rotational mass, the more stress it will put on the shaft (ie. single v tripple disks and all that good stuff).
