No, I wanted to convert a wired one to wireless - I paid them for the upgrade. Paligap did this and then had to replace it once (maybe twice? I can't recall now) more because they'd not sealed it properly. Warranty job for them because it was their fault.
The stupid cheap one I bought from the US was damaged so it was a risk but I got a year out of it before it died and then had to replace its guts too. This replacement I paid for (still cheaper than Stages) wasn't sealed properly, again Paligap fault and warranty - replaced for nothing.
I don't -have- to run aftermarket freehub bodies. I do so on two of my five (current) PT hubs.
My data is decent and I've spent less on them than your collection retails at so yeah, pretty good.

I'm still not buying a Stages.
