The 3ks have withstood rigorous gig conditions without a problem, but lets face it ...its plastic!!!.....& for a pro who uses it daily what more can you ask for in reliability?........just think of what you earned with it at the 3k price point vs replacing, upgrading or what ever .....these are all tools of the trade that need to be changed.......I have no qualms & no regrets with the 3k it has served me very well......
