360 Plus lifespan?

[chrpotr]

Question to those of you who owned/installed/replaced your 360s... how long do they last (assuming they are regularly maintained)?

Better question. With the 360 being made primarily from aluminium and corrosion not being a real problem, when would you decide that you need to replace it? I had a Laser 4000 prior to the 360 and it was rotting to the ground and festoon cables were a royal pain so it was obvious when it needed to go.

I don't know anything about the 360 but we have a 20 year old all aluminum machine that is falling apart from corrosion. I'm sure it's from the touchless chemicals. Aluminum is surely a step up from galvanized steel though. Stainless is pretty much forever.
