I've had mine about 5 years and have experienced no problems.  I haven't gigged with
it so it hasn't had much abuse except for the time that the computer monitor fell on
it....  It continued to work after that.  The feel of the Yamaha CS-80 ribbon is
better, based on the few times I've played one, but I think the Kurzweil seems more
durable (cloth vs. plastic, respectively).  

I think one of the cool features of the Kurzweil ribbon is that you can divide it up
into multiple segments, each with a different controller and zero point.

I'm not so crazy about the small ribbon by the wheels.  It's OK but the pressure
sensing tends to get in the way.  I need to disable it on many patches.
