Well my opinion is, if it ain't broke, why fix it. I've found most of the Xbox power supplies to be quite durable in compassion to most of power supplies used in other equipment. I know they all hate lightning, I've had two die through being connected to the wall in a storm. I found the after market 110/240 volt Xbox power supplies to be absolutely useless and blew up after just 6 months but of the others, I have my favorites but I would base that solely on appearance rather than durability issues i have ever found.
