I'll tell you this: I had a brand new IO-390 with brand new Slick
Mags, and within about 350 hours,
I was having major issues that could have been a huge safety problem.
The copper wiper had
eroded away from the shaft and even fallen off of the plastic gear.
Watch this quick video
and then you can decide how big of a deal it is.

I would never trust a copper one again, ever.

Hope that helps you make a decision.
