We are looking into using EC31's in place of S317's and was concerned about the EC31's future, what its current popularity and adoption rate was like and what level of service, support and parts availability we would get on a Global Scale compared to sticking with the S317. Also, are there any significant reliability differences. We see some value add in the PC soft PLC but we have got to lock in on something we know is not a flash in the pan product.

What is the conventional wisdom out there?
