12v Refrigerator ratings

Is there enough usage history for 12v refrigerators to say one is better than the rest?
I'm looking to replace my Dometic 2652 6 cu. ft. with Dometics "direct replacement" Dometic 8CU FT 12V DC COMP REFER DMC4081.
We don't boondocks and run 2 12v deep cycle batteries so I don't believe the 12v will pose a problem.
Anyone have any recommendations on the best 12v refrigerator to buy?

    I have 12V Dometic 10cu. Runs good on Max setting only. Getting parts are a BIG issue.

    We installed a 12 volt compressor cooling unit in our Dometic 2862 refer, best thing we have done. Very consistent refer and dresser temps.
  • I full time and have I have a 2005 Norcold. No problems
