I like this part if is true: Much lower power consumption - half of the original - resulting in significantly longer battery life, Nominal consumption = 0.6Watts
Not sure I understand how to fit it, old one was easy to change with a soldering iron ans then some heat shrink. If i saw a picture of the new connection it would be easier to see how to fit it. Problem is I already have a spare old one which cost about £40 and the new is £85, is it worth it ??

Its about time they upgraded their solenoids.. The snaptite solenoid that the Hammerhead has been using from the beginning has had this rating..
