The biggest issue is quality control and customer service. When the Aliens began failing CCH initially did nothing (no recall, etc) it took other companys to issue warnings and finally CCH did the recall and offered inspections.
Although I do trust Aliens, I'd trust the Master Cams "more". My rack consists of Metolius cams and I will be getting Master Cams to replace the smaller size Powercams, doubling up with the TCUs. Many partners of mine use aliens and I'll still use them when using their rack.
