SD has had their issues but I don't think a blanket statement like this is reasonable. I've had 3 so far, and never had a single issue. My 1200.4 EVOX sounds great, has a ton of good clean power, and has a form factor that's hard to beat anywhere at any cost. I have yet to hear of anyone with issues not getting resolved quickly, so I'm not sure bashing them is fair. Have you considered that we might hear of more issues here simply because a greater number of folks here are running them?
