the good unicorn is the first batch of T9. I have few and since running non stop. 2 of them once made 183 days straight.
So is the T9+ more reliable than S9? It is cheaper per TH for expansion and faster ROI at current prices?

Yeah I think it's the sweet spot for Bitmain in reliability...has less chips for less hash rate, but runs smoother.  

Not sure I agree.  Feels more like marketing to me.  Both of my original T9s died within weeks, although their replacements have been stable.

It's probably just luck with what you get.  My best BM equipment (after S5s) were four S7 Batch 1 Ants.  I got them in September 2015 when the S7 first came out and they ran trouble free up until I retired them in April to get all my equipment up to the latest efficiency models.  They were 4.86 models and were rock solid.  Not so much for the subsequent S7s and S9s...those have been more trouble than they were worth.  Nothing but 841s or newer for me from now on.
