I have 4 of the older style as well. The newer style has not been made available yet on the US sites like MoreBeer or Williams Brewing, but they are coming soon.
I have had mixed results with the older style. I had 2 that basically exploded on their own, the screw part was all of a sudden no longer connected and some plastic pieces were also on the bottom of kegerator. Only running 22PSI into them, well within their specs.
I received replacements from Williams Brewing. One of those replacements basically does not adjust. If I try to go lower than the incoming pressure, it is not releasing the CO2 supply. So 2 out of 4 failed, then 1 out of 2 failed.
I am very interested in the updated version and I will probably get 2 at first to give them a go.
I also have the blowtie and that has worked out very well for me.
Unfortunately I have had several of the other duotight connections break on me as well. The connector that goes onto ball lock fitting, they crack pretty easy. Most my gas side fittings have broke. For some reason no issues on my beer side though.... I do not over-tighten either, go by hand and then less than a quarter turn by pliers.
