Lightspeed 3G Headset Updates?

I'm not trying to stir the pot but I looked at several ANR headsets. I
was only able to try them at the demonstrator board at a pilot shop at
LNS, Lancaster, PA. Performance wise I'd have to say that in the pilot
shop they all worked well. As far as comfort, my mother was right - I
have an iron head. None of the headsets felt uncomfortable. None of
them really stood out as extremely comfortable. I ended up with a pair
of david clark 10-20xl's. They are without a doubt the most solidly
constructed. Even the spring loaded jacks that attach the cables to the
battery box are impressive. I was also concerned about all of returns
I've read about of the other brands. It's nice to hear that
manufacturers like lightspeed stand behind their products but the
failure rate seemed too high. You may spend more for david clarks but
the amount of time spent boxing up and returning broken headsets also
has value. One other nice feature with the 10-20xl's, you can use the
battery box, one 9volt with auto-shutoff, or have the panel kit
installed. Right now I'm using the battery box but I plan to add the
panel kit.

Well Google shows the most recent solicitation from the group for feedback
on the Lightspeed 3G headsets was back in early 2003. Jay Honeck gave a very
positive update in March of 2004 in response to another post but no mass
(relatively speaking) feedback on general experiences. Soooooo....if I may:

1) What model and how long have you had them?

2) What was your longest trip and were they still comfortable at the end?

3) How many times have they broken (if any) and what broke?

4) Is the customer service and/or turnaround on repairs still good?

I think Jay's bought two new Twenty 3G's since March so I'd be interested to
see if they've proved as good as the first pair. Also, if anyone's gone FROM
a Lightspeed headset to another with good results, that would be interesting
too (well, to me at least).

Thanks!
