I bought an new old stock VS off Ebay and had the thing sieze up the first year...sent it in and only had the basic charge to fix.

Bought a Calcutta 400TE at SWE and had the free-spool lever break after one season. sent it in for service and Shimano sent me a brand new reel.

So I'm pretty happy with both companies for now. But even with the premuim price I can see how it would be difficult to provide top shelf service for very long.
