Doug -

I have 5 M6's that receive very hard use.  I've only had to have one 
repaired when I dropped it in the river in Honduras and I sent one in for 
CLA after being in a sand storm .  The others just keep on working - the 
oldest for 8 years with no attention.  Don't baby it.  Use it.

Leically,

Tina
