I prefer reliable older parts to new parts. All the new stuff is made more cheaply, more quickly and is (in my experience) of lesser quality than comparable stuff from a few years ago.

"Newer" isn't necessarily "better".

Stick with what works. Unfortunately this is generally a run-to-fail model, but I can't stomach the thought of swapping out good quality parts that might have some life left on them with made-in-China crap substitutes that will likely fail in half the time of the original stuff.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it is broke, try to fix it rather than replace it, because the newer thing you replace it with is virtually guaranteed to be of lesser quality.
