I have a pair of those in my Commander HF-2500 which have been used for
tens of thousands of RTTY contest QSOs, arguably the hardest of all
operating modes.  As far as I can tell their performance is identical to
the day I got the amp.

Don't abuse them and they will probably last longer than you.  :-)
