I know there is a big believe/possible myth out there that widebands will die very shortly if installed in the stock o2 housing locations, but does anyone have first hand experience with this?

I want to go to dual widebands now and the stock locations are optimal if you are running a standalone. Faster response time, nice and neat wiring possibilities, don't have to mess with them every tine you pull the down pipe, decent angle for water to run off of them, etc.
