When a tank manufacturer offered a 7 year warrenty, I asked the other manufacturer if they were going to step up. The answer "If we have to warrenty the tank for 7 years, we have to build it to last 14, do you really want it to last that long?". I almost cried. I agree with you, they know exactly how long stuff will last and engineer it to have a limited life, even if it doesn't cost anymore.
I always promote 3 wire motors, large tanks and rigid pipe.
