Smart Diode cut out

[JonE]

So from the comments here, I detect it could be more efficient... but is it less inherently stable as a chip than a rectifier? I was thinking of placing two rectifiers in place on the bulkhead so in event of failure the wires can just be swopped over. But presumably as you clever guys start researching the newbie chips, those are going to be equally cost effective.... if they aren't 'fragile'.
