Cheap insurance. I've watched reports here for years on them and I've never seen one go before 45K, but plenty go at 50K or more.
I don't know how long the Wazee lasts. It looks like a more durable design. They stock has took much wobble in it for me right out of the box. As noted though, it's the bearing that goes first (then the pulley melts) and whether the additional heat sink capability of the wazee makes a practical difference is debatable. At least the bearing is replaceable in the Wazee for short money, so if you plan to keep the car a while, it might be a good choice.
Personally, I'd buy an extra bearing with teh Wazee and change at 45K. The downside is too expensive and inconvenient to take a risk for a few $'s.
