My opinion is exactly opposite. Coleman timers are a PITA. Fragramatics timers are regular old IDX timers that I happen to use in all my bays so I always have plenty of spare parts.
I don't know anything about Ginsans either.
My main complaint on the Fragramatics units is that working on the vac motors is like working in a hole - the are not that easy to get to.
I have had a Coleman Shampoo vac for over 8 years, have only had to replace timer once, maybe they are not the best but I have a bunch of spares. I have only put 2 motors in the vac in 8 years and seldom does it eat brushes. I had a Fragramatics vac for 3 1/2 years brushes lasted 6 months, motors maybe a year, and when a timer went replacement was around $600, was told had to use only their timer. I dont know if they have changed anything I think mine was an older vac that were outsourced, and yeah they sucked to work on the tops, oh yeah and the coindrops are a pita!! The only - on my colemans are the hoses they use for frag. and shampooers. the guns and heads are the bomb, all stainless and last forever!!

Don't limit your options... there are other options you might consider.

Maybe I need new clubs
Aren't the Fragramatics Combos basically Mike Doyle's (IVS) original design?
And, aren't the current Ginsan/IVS combos Mike Doyle's 2nd generation design...with Ginsan timers?
If so, the IVS design, quality of assembly, reliability is hard to beat.
