Fortec Mercury II vs Ultra - memory screwup

We've seen posts from folks that have Lifetime Ultra, that as you add new satellites, transponders after a while the programming becomes "confused", and it starts to change settings on it's own.

As I'm now using 120cm dish and combined C and Ku band LNB, I'm filling the Ultra with lots of stations.

Now things start to become wacky, where the unit forgets it was USALS, changes the LNB type, stuff like that.
I realize it's probably a memory limit or bug in the software code.
Yesterday, I reset the box, and put on the latest firmware code from Fortec (my last version was fine, didnt see the need until now)

I guess my question here is, I see on the comparison chart that the new Mercury II unit has lots of memory space for sats, transponders and channels.

Does anyone know if the Mercury II performs as expected, without glitches as the sats & channels fill up? I really hate to spend the money if this issue simply carries over from one box to the next.
