Personally I wouldn't be too concerned with out of the box failures. I'm not saying it doesn't happen but to me, you just don't know if it was really the DME relay or if they also messed with other things. A loose wire in the connector for the DME Relay that was jarred while removing the relay or something along those lines. I'd probably contact someone at PP and ask them about failure rates of the different manufacturers. I'm sure they could provide some insight into how often a new one comes back defective. Once you've got that info make your decision from there.
I'd put the relay you have in the car and when it acts up take a spare plug and make sure you're not losing spark. Gremlins are a pain but if you follow a troubleshooting flow chart you can normally track them down.
BTW, I'd bet there's a member somewhere close who for a beer or two would come help you sort out your problem.
Good luck!
