I think another factor in here is that people who do their first 100 hours on a manual unit get a very good "feel" for how the rebreather is supposed to work. They could be more likely to notice if it is acting weird.

If you start off automatic, I think it some people take a lot longer to get the sense of when things aren't normal.
