Well done, PDP
You get an awful lot of box for your money, but they are a bit fickle when hot, when stressed by overwork etc and I've seen a great many reports of bricking.
That said, recovery (as you've found) is painless and quick - although there have been a fair few offered "for spares" in the Flea Market (Probably from folk who are unaware of reflashing).
Both of mine have run without complaint or error for months and I've no plans to replace or upgrade anytime soon.
