I've owned my Studio 440 since it was first introduced and have never 
had a single issue with it.  Today its still my primary drum machine 
and sequencer and in mint condition.  Other Studio 440's I have used 
have also been rock solid so I'm not sure why you equate the Studio 
440 to an MG?  

With any fine instrument treat it well and it should last a long time 
and perform as expected.  I can't count the number of synths, drum 
machines, and keyboards I've seen people beat to hell and expect them 
to work.  Maybe that method works for others but I prefer to keep my 
instruments as new.
