Daiwa Lexa 400 HSP - How is Yours Holding Up?

I'm wondering if any of you guys used the new Lexa 400 HSP through a whole bunch of yak trips last year and how your reel held up to all of those surf launches. I have one of those reels myself and used it several times on some big boat trips last year, but obviously that's pretty different from the abuse a yak reel gets day in and day out. Thinking about picking up a second one, but just not sure about whether the saltwater intrusion issues with the original lexa were fully corrected and whether it's capable of holding up for at least a couple of years of solid use on a yak.

The alternative's a Calcutta 400b and I know this reel is definitely going to stand up but I think the Lexa 400 HSP will be a much better casting reel, and I can use all of the extra yards I can get with some of those odd casting angles you have to put up with from a seated position!
