I agree with Ed. My strategy when I started this (in '92 !) when Neico was still
much smaller than SH, was to purchase any and all parts that could be sourced
only from Neico. That pretty much made me immune to any issues they might run into.
Given how well they've done, I could have saved my money and purchased as I went along.
I considered it cheap insurance. If I move on to a IV, I'll use the same tactic.

However, given that Neico appears to be run by a team with good business sense,I 
believe they'll be around for quite some time.

I've better things to worry about - like how to get that .75 x 5" KNS102 connector (prewired
from PCA) through a 1x2" hole.
