I use autopilot and advanced autopilot all the time, but I have no use for cruise since most of my trips are spent sitting on BPs, beaver huts, and laydowns. Spot lock, on the other hand, gets heavy use UNLESS the spot is too tight for GPS control. Also, I never use the foot control. I'm only averaging about two trips a week this year, but most of them are on TMO lakes and last 10 - 12 hrs. That translates to roughly 20 to 25 hrs. of TM usage per wk. Are you saying that the same product has held up to 30 to 50 hrs. of usage per week for 32 wks?
