Revision switching to Titan

My AMS 700 has failed with the fluid leak between the pump and the reservoir. It only loses fluid when the fluid is in the reservoir. The longer I stay deflated, the less I am able to inflate. When the issue reached 70% max inflation, I opted to stay inflated to preserve length while waiting for revision surgery. I thought this might be an issue but so far after 2 months it has been ok. I was approved for revision by insurance and surgeon is planning replacement with a Titan as it is best matched to my anatomy. As the AMS is only 3 years old, the device is covered under warranty but the Titan will be a charge. Insurance did not specify that level of detail in acceptance of surgery request. Anyone else switch brands on revision?

I had 2 failures with AMS 700! Each one had a pump failure within 18 months. So I am looking to switch too.
Strangely enough, the replacement surgery was delayed because of an FDA recall for failing pumps.
