Why the (fresh) obsession with how long a BB lasts?
Fine I don't want to change one a month, but it's not going to upset me greatly to "only" get 12 months out of a heavily used one- which external bearing BB's will more than deliver.
Seems to me you are looking for a justification for a decision you have already made.
