Default Switch Blade Durable

So I broke my third key Saturday. Has anyone had the newer switch blade style key for a while and do you believe it to be more durable than the original style?

I ordered a pair from 1010keys off Ebay. I was able to email a picture of my current key & they were able to cut it from that. It took only 3 days from SF, CA to Milwaukee. Amazing. I took a pair of pliers on the blade and twisted the key to see how strong it was. There was very little if any flexing. It is a much better design. I will be very surprised if this one breaks.

It's an 04. You merely take out the buttons from your existing key and put it into the new one.
