I've had what I reckon is about 2500 miles out of the BB in my OTP Plug. OK, it's still spinning, but it creaks nastily and I'd say it's definitely "got the mark".
Not sure what model it came with last year, but nowadays, that bike uses a TH Industries 7420ST. I'm assuming that's a fairly bottom-end product. So I'm agreeing that 1500 miles does sound on the low side.
