Default Anyone own an Icon?

I am looking to upgrade our 2010 Star with a new cart with Lithium FePO4 battery. I've looked at several. The standout so far in terms of looks, handling, and having the features we want appears to be the Icon. Have only driven it on the dealer's paved lot so far, but the handling, torque, braking, ride, etc. are head & shoulders above anything else I've experienced. Another dealer who sells Icon and several other brands, told me that, compared to others such as Star and Atlas, the Icon cannot be expected to hold up well over years of use. So I'm looking for other opinions, particularly from Icon owners, or anyone with technical knowledge about this cart.

Icons come with an Ecco LiFEPO4, 105ah battery. I would want a larger battery. The dealer says they can get one with 160ah, which would likely be adequate for us. To get to 210ah, the local dealer suggests connecting 2 105 ah's together, however this has already been recommended against elsewhere on this forum.
