Real world life expectancy of a high end cartridge?

While I know they’re supposed to last 1000 hours how many make it all that way?  

Question prompted by my brushing a knuckle on my AS Palladian this afternoon and trashing it ... lesson learned not to try tonearm adjustments without full access to the table (normally I move the table off the wall shelf to a more convenient location to make adjustments, but not this time 😬)

And doesn’t it just happen that the cost of a recipe/trade is exactly my deductible so even insurance is no help 😲

Anyway just needed to vent ... but anyone playing with these expensive baubles better be prepared to reup on a replacement at any moment 🤪

Thank you wqgq_641, This means so much to me to see.  I am getting ready to buy a $4000 ML Cartridge, and was hoping the Last Stlylast, will help me maintain and maximize its' life.  This will help me rest better!  Not saying they are the only game in town, but I think one that is reliable.  I'm older and this helps me; thank you for posting.
