Personally I am in the same situation . I had a Custom Divers 18w hid for about 4 years. As Dave says Alex makes things to last . The new CD LED is due out in September IIRC .Alex told me it will beat a 21wHID Salvo & will have through case charging as well .
Rob Lumb at Greenforce also has a new LED head due in a couple of months again with the same claims .
I tried the metalsub 200Hid yesterday out of Dover & while not in the pencil beam of the Salvo it still has a prominent beam to it with a very usefull halo .I dove with my old CD HID for 3 years from Rhibs & did not take care of it & yet I never broke a bulb ,I think they are more robust than some people make out .
I was at CPS the importer for Metalsub on Wednesday & their 50w Halogen obliterates their LED
