Yes, they last indeed. My strut is mainly in uncompressed state in sofa position so it helps. Not a big expense and easy to replace with the same model, remove wire clips and pop it out, certainly in the uncompressed state.
I bought the original from the McMaster Carr in 2013, unfortunately they changed part numbers so I guesstimated my first replacement but the spring was ¼” too short. Second $20 strut fits like a glove.
