Katadyn Hiker Pro as an alternative to the MSR Sweetwater or the MiniWorks?

I bought the Katadyn Hiker Pro after talking to the guys at Campmor - the Sweetwater has a weak point in how the lever arm is attached to the pivot point. After watching some of our troop's scouts destroy a Sweetwater, Campmor's rep's discussion of how often they get returns of that design, and Campmor's assurance that the Hiker Pro was more "scout proof" I went that route.
