suggests that the Rotec is not even a good replacement for the Ellison.

The link you posted from 2014 is most likely speaking of the old style 2 piece unit that had a separate pressure diaphragm that was per my understanding very finicky. The current units are one piece and have been reported to me to perform well as long as you abide by the installation instructions particularly the fact that they don't like ram air.
There's a respectable number of them out there flying so just realize that a few negative reviews from someone on the internet who may or most likely did not adhere to the installation guidelines makes it sound like a lot worse than it is.

thanks for pointing this out. I really don't know anything about the Rotec. I looked around for reviews, but did not notice any rave ones, not for the one-piece one, either. it would be great to have a few owners post a few experience reviews here...

regards,

A little bit of fiberglass work and a new carburetor, be done with it. You have to have trust in your bird, you can't get out and walk. IMHO

A chap at NVaero took over the Ellison servicing. Not sure he is still active. The link to EllisonFluidSystems is dead but you might call.

Useful info here

I have been very pleased with my Ellisons. Some of the diaphragms are Tillotson carb parts and some can be bought various places. It is described at the miravim site.
