Agreed, although you realize that you may be jinxing things by bringing up the fact that yours has never failed. Mentioning good luck works kind of like umbrellas. When you carry one it doesn't rain; when you don't it does.
My 700E hasn't failed either, and it's exactly what I had in mind over all the years I waited before one came up that I could afford. It's my only Vision piece, and one of three Legacy locos I have. I've had it for 4 years now and have never regretted my choice, or the fact that it was a second-hand purchase.
