I run two OM4 ways on 2 CLs. The newer model of drums is carved out on the sides which allows for some sand to blow straight through the units. I have had them jam up on me...but to give you some idea that happens maybe 1x per year. Mine have been running for over 3 years now. The magnetic components needed to be replaced at around 2 years of use.

I highly recommend them. They are well made, well designed, reliable and serviceable.
Thanks Untamed. I will look into this further. I can live with 1x per year lock-ups. Probably would just need to take it down for cleaning when ever the Dart goes offline for maintenance. Is that what you do as well? What about anyone else, any other experiences to share with the OM4?
