Electric black tank dump valve. Worth it?

Been having trouble with cable and valve leaking.
Took belly off once to deal with cable. Now valve leaking. Thinking if I have to take belly off again perhaps I should go electric.

Are they trouble free?

    I have visions of the valve shorting out and opening while rolling down the road. And, of course, there will be a police car behind you when it happens. :E

    Bending over to pull the handle sideways made me get an electric one on our last TT some years ago. It worked very well and stayed on the TT when we traded it in.
