I'll second Tony's comments re:maintenance&alignment. We've had two
RL01's running on a 11/23 since 1980 and one RL02 on a 11/45 since
1991 and I can recall just one head crash in all that time. I'm no longer
on the maintenance side, but I don't believe anyones changed the filters
in the last 5 years. (I am not recommending this aproach)

On the flip side, we've got dead RK05's and RA60's lying all over the
place.
