My Electron gear have also been 100% reliable, but wheels can seize in wet weather use, fixed as in my RCJi article earlier this year.
Both JP and Electron have leg compression issues. JP on the larger sets main legs, they need 3/32” Tygon inside the spring as a bump stop to keep them open.
Electron need this on the nose leg, the Medium size nose leg is way too soft, a length of Tygon cures that too. ( Classic Rebel and Diablo need it too)

The difference is ** JP brakes are inconsistent, where Electron brakes are probably the best brakes overall made…ever
