Edelweiss still having problems?

I'm looking to pick up a new rope and was considering getting an Edelweiss ARC in either the 9.5 or 9.8. After doing some research I noticed quite a few people were having issues with these nearly right from the get go. Has anyone purchased either of these in the last 3 months and if so have you had any issues? As always, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have two axis ii ropes that are awesome. Burly and stretchy as hell. Bought it sometime last year though.

I have the ARC 9.8 - purchased 3ish weeks ago. I've done 4 days in Red Rock and 1 day in Boulder Canyon with it. Some of the RR routes were lower angle nasty affairs as well but it seems to be performing exactly as I suspected. Should be good for 9-12 months, which is about all I get out of my ropes anway.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
