My first 47mm PAM... should I be concerned regarding exploding crystals?

[rickdangerous]

I want to take the plunge and order my first 47mm PAM.

I'm eyeing Noob's 127 and 217. When I search the forum for threads regarding these models I tend to find a lot of topics regarding crystals exploding/cracking out for no apparent reason.

Does this issue affect all 47mm PAMs? Is it that widespread?

I don't feel comfortable investing 360 USD in a rep that will self destruct when you least expect it… Should we avoid the current generation 47mm PAM reps?
