Info coming from repair techs needs to be interpreted. They only have experience with the broken stuff. They don't get a lot of experience with the stuff that works.
Many years ago I ran a stereo repair shop. One of my techs always recommended a particular equipment brand to his friends because they were easy to fix. He never recommended the better stuff because it seldom had problems and he never saw it. His friends probably would have preferred the stuff that didn't break.
