LG WM3670HVA Washer - Reliability Issues?

Considering retiring our older WM1812CW LG washer due to repeated LE errors. By elimination, the stator needs to be replaced.

I've been generally happy with the LG. The model WM3670HVA is commonly being sold now for $650 or so, which is pretty cheap for the current crop of front-loaders. Knowing that "you get what you pay for" (but don't always get what you overpay for), I'm curious to know whether any of the repair techs here have seen this washer. If so, how is it constructed compared to previous and current LG models? Any noticeable cost-cutting? Expected reliability?

The link below is for Home Depot, so you can see what the unit looks like:
