in answer to your question. No, no and no.

DMH is a way better product, but it seems that all electric cutouts eventually fail if used frequently.

I run the QTP cutouts. Only one i recommend. Never had an issue. Most that bash a product never had owned it. I never had the DMH so i cant comment. My friend did for short time. Had a problem with it and was impossible to get any customer service from them. No phone number to call.

I had a QTP. *****! Maybe they started welding the motors on the new cut outs. But ill never have one again. Along with the plethora of peple and QTP cutout problems I wouldnt touch one.

I had two qtp cutouts installed on my setup. They never really sealed that great, and they lasted about 4 months before they both literally fell apart. First thing would be the little screws that hold the plate onto the middle bar would come out, causing the plate to shift down and get hung up half open. Nothing sounds worse than driving around town with one cutout closed and the other half open. The next thing that happened was the motor fell out of the side of the cutout itself. It was just hanging under the truck. In one week, the motor fell out of one and the little bar in the middle broke on the other one. I think they would be fine on a weekend warrior/racecar, but not very efficient on a daily driver.
FWIW....they were fun as hell to play with when they were both working, but that wasn't a great deal of time. Hope this helps you out some. Just my experiences with them.
