Canon v900 - Anyone with experience

Canon has officially given up trying to fix our v1000 and we are exploring replacement options.
Right now our techs have recommended a pair of v900s as they have a bunch in the field in our area and say that they don't see many issues. Bonus: because there's so many in the field all the techs are well versed on them and the parts are available much easier than the v1000. The techs say that when there is a repair job on the v1000 it's more like our c810s and 910 where it's just a couple hours to fix. On the v1000 we routinely experience days of downtime for even simple things and it's been down for 3 weeks this time and they still don't have a fix.

Is anyone running Canon v900s? What has your experience been like?
Honestly, this is Canon's last shot with us and if we don't get it right, the boss isn't likely to give them another chance. If we didn't have another three years on the v1000 lease we would probably be shopping around right now.
 
We do have a V800 and it is the same engine as the V700 V800 and V900. Only thing different between them is the speed of them. We only use our V800 for envelopes and i have to say it has been good for the year or so we have had it. Only have had techs in maybe twice after install but then again we dont run high volumes either.
